Cooking Guide
Tips:
• Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters
for raw and cooked meat.
• Always marinade in a tightly covered nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be sure to
refrigerate all meats while marinating.
• If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small
pan and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate bacterial growth.
• Similar to a stove top frying pan, grease from high-fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter
on the countertop. Protect the countertop as necessary.
• Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs, and uncooked smoked or fresh sausages for best
results. If not partially cooked, these meats may become overbrowned on the outside before the
center is done.
• To prevent scratching the coating, use only nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the grill plate
using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives, that can scratch the cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
Set the cooking temperature by referring to below Grill Temperature Chart and Griddle Temperature Chart.

During the cooking, you can use a thermostat to check the internal meat temperature by referring to
below Cooking Chart. The cooking time depends upon the thickness and desired degree of doneness of
food. Foods can be grilled at maximum temperature. However you may wish to reduce the temperature
for certain items. Low temperatures will keep foods warm once cooked.

Fish 155°F
Shrimp 155°F
Chicken Drumsticks 176°F
Chicken Wings 176°F
Steak 140°F–165°F
