Rotisserie cooking rotates food in front of the rotisserie burner, creating an intense heat for searing the outside and sealing in natural juices.

The rotisserie burner reaches cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. It is not necessary to preheat when using the rotisserie.

■ Select tender meat and poultry.

■ Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) sp ace betwee n rotisseri e burner and

the food.

■ To make cleanup easier, place a pan under the food to catch

drippings.

■ Add barbecue sauce or glaze only during the last 10 minutes

Before Grilling

■ Thaw food items before grilling.

■ Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The

hood must be closed during preheating. There is no need to use the back rotisserie burner for preheat ing. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.

■ Shorten the preheat time w hen gri lling h igh-fat cut s of m eat or

poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.

■ Lightly oil the grill grate s or the food w hen cooking low-fat cut s

of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.

■ Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.

■ Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce

flare-ups.

■ Make vertical cuts at 2" (5 cm ) intervals around the fat edge of

meat to avoid curling.

■ Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.

During Grilling

■ Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned

several times.

■ Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.

■ Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This

allows juices to escape.

■ It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that

cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary sauce.

■ If using a high fla me, add barbecue sauce onl y d uri ng t he last

10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.

■ The degree of donenes s is influ enced by the ty pe of me at, cut

of meat (size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.

■ Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.

Cooking Methods

Direct Heat

Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down. If hood is in the up position, total cooking times may be longer.

Direct heat sears th e fo od . Searing is a proces s tha t seals natural juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.

Grilling Chart

■ Knobs have High, Medium and Low settings for flame

adjustment.

■ Heat settings indicated are approximate.

■ Grilling times are aff ec ted by weat her con dit ion s.

Indirect Heat

For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method when it is windy.

Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted burner(s) on either side to cook the food.

If possible, turn on 2 burners. Cook with the hood down. This will shorten the cooking time.

■ When 2 temperatures are listed, for example: Medium to

Medium-Low, start with the first and adjust based on cooking progress.

■ Cooking times may vary from chart times depending on the

type of fuel, Natural or LP gas.
