GRILLING FRUITS AND vEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center
of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food needs
longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary, adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only silicone, heatproof plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on
the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with
77ºC
the high temperature.
