UsingYourInfraredSearBurner

(onsomemodels)

Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.

■Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.

■Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed away prior to grilling.

■Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to sear.

■Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish grilling to the desired doneness.
