• Before cooking apply a dry blend of herbs and spices to suit your tastes
and compliment the avor of the meat.
• Set RED
®
to BBQ.
Important points to consider for
grilling pork ribs with RED
®
:
• Unlike other grills, the RED
®
grill emits
100% infrared energy. It will sear the
outside, penetrating the meat and sealing
it so the internal moisture will remain.
• Cook the ribs for 1/2 to 1 hour depend-
ing upon how much meat, bone and fat
they contain. Baste the ribs with a light
coating of apple cider vinegar during the
last 10 minutes.
• If desired, you can brush on a glaze of barbeque sauce or marmalade
during the nal 10 minutes instead of the apple cider vinegar.
• Drop smoke chips directly between the cooking grates. They will avor the
ribs but not actually smoke them.
• Determining when pork ribs are done can be tricky and color is not an
indication of doneness. Smoke from burning wood chips can turn the interior
of the meat pink and leave you with the impression that it’s not cooked. If
you can move the rib bones back and forth without a lot of resistance the
meat is cooked. A better judge is to remove the ribs after an hour and
use an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the
meat away from the bone, measuring for an internal temperature of
160°F.
• Infrared energy cooks differently than conventional gas or charcoal
grills - the outside of the ribs will be crusty and the inside will be moist.

Grilling Vegetables
Grilling gives vegetables a lightly smoked flavor and it doesn’t take much
preparation. Here are several tips on grilling vegetables on the RED
®
.
• Set RED
®
to Grill.
• We recommend you lightly brush or spray vegetables with olive oil
before grilling to add avor, promote sear marks, and keep them from
drying out and sticking to the grill.
• Grilled vegetables are usually served as a side dish with other grilled
foods, but they can also be served as a main course, drizzled with plain
or avored olive oil.
• In general, vegetables benet from direct, high-heat grilling methods.
