Infrared Grilling tips
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat.
Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb
smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized
by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
As a general rule, foods will cook in about 1/2 the time they would take on an
ordinary grill.
•Preheat the grill.
•Ensure that meat is fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed away prior
to grilling.
•Leave the burner set on “HI” when placing food on the grill to sear.
•For thicker cuts of meats, adjust burner to a lower setting and continue
cooking until desired doneness is reached.
