Char-Broil Tru-Infrared Guide

GB
Until you get used to cooking on the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared grill, you may want to adjust your
regular cooking times. If you are familiar with cooking on a well-prepared charcoal re, your
sense of timing will be more easily adaptable to the TRU-Infrared cooking system. If you are
used to cooking on open-ame gas burners, reduce the heat settings you normally use by at
least 30% and the cooking time by about half. After some experience you’ll have a sense of what
temperature setting and cooking times best work for you and deliver the results you want.
COOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS
Wood chips can be placed on cooking grates for added smoke avor when grilling and
barbecuing. You can drop wood chips right out of the bag with no need to pre-soak them
rst. NOTE: Do NOT place wood chips directly under greasy foods as this can increase the risk
of are up.
Here are some hardwood varieties that work particularly well with
foods: Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory, Mesquite, Oak,
Rosemary and Sassafras.
PREVENTING FLARE-UPS
Your TRU-Infrared cooking system was designed to eliminate flare-ups during normal use. Engineered
perforations keep flames in the firebox beneath the cooking grate and away from your food. However, under
certain conditions, you may experience a flare-up on top of the cooking grate. The following tips can help
reduce the chance of this occurring.
When searing fatty foods, leave the grill lid in the open position.
Try to keep your grill away from windy areas. Wind forces oxygen between the grates
which can result in are-ups.
During cooking, if grease pools, remove food (if possible) and turn burners on high with
the grill lid open until grease has burned o.
DIRECT COOKING
Infrared energy is perfect for direct cooking of steaks, chops and other meats as it can achieve
very high searing temperatures. The infrared energy aects meat by rst searing the outside
and penetrating inside so the meat is cooked to juicy perfection.
