Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cutsof meat cook slowly to perfection onthe
grill by indirect heat. Placefood over unlit burner(s);the heat
from lit burners circulatesgentlythroughout the grill, cooking
meat or poultrywithout the touch of a direct flame.
This method greatlyreduces flare-upswhen cookingextra fatty
cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and
juices that dripduring cooking.
1 Burner Cooking
Cook with director indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes lessfuel.
Food Safety
Food safety is a veryimportant part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keepfood safe from harmful bacteria,
follow thesefour basic steps:
Clean: Washhands, utensils,and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultryfrom ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platterand
utensilswhen removingcookedfoods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughlyto kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00
am-4:00 pm EST).
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meatandpoultry cookedon a grill often browns very fast on
the outside. Usea meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature,and cut into food to
check for visualsigns of aloneness.
•Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F.Juices
should run clear andflesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers madeof any ground meat or poultry should
reach 160° F,and be brown inthe middle with no pink juices.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked
to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVERpartiallygrill meator poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
•When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grillto 165° F,or until steaming hot.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
• Always cookwith the lid closed.
• Due toweather conditions, cooking times mayvary.
During cold andwindy conditions the temperature setting
may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking
temperatures.
• Place food over unlit burner(s)
2 Burner Cooking
