Preparing to Roast

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method.

Therefore, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect juices for making gravies.

Remember, indirect cooking requires the Lid of your grill to be down.

Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking methods such as roasting.

If you do choose to preheat your grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH and close Lid for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Type of Food

Beef

Food preparation

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with cooking string to retain shape if desired.

Bacon strips can be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat and poultry to help prevent it from drying out. Another method for keeping food moist during roasting is to put water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to ensure proper browning.

Tips for roasting

Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for a tasty sauce or gravy.

Place a cooking pan directly over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce.

Finally, add sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes which allows the juices to settle.

This will make carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES

From casseroles and cornbread to delicious desserts like fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the grill is as easy as baking in the kitchen.

Preparing to Bake

To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or castiron cooking pan, and a pair of flame retardant BBQ Mitts. If the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season the pan before use.

Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve the baking temperature desired.

Baking uses the indirect cooking method.

Tips for Baking

Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen.

Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture.

You will need to stir the food several times as it bakes, and add additional liquid if required.

When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird.

The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone.

Center the bird and tighten with the holding forks.

Test the balance as described before.

A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the center of the length of meat, then secured and balanced.

For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.

Preparing to Smoke

Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor.

You will find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for use in smoking grilled foods.

Pre-soaking of wood chips may be required so read and follow the manufacturers instructions for preparing smoking chips prior to use.

Note: It is our experience that many smoking chip and pellet products do not actually produce a smoke but instead infuses the food with flavor.

Please read product labels carefully and if in doubt, ask your retailer for details.

Using A Smoker Box

There are many optional smoker boxes available for purchase.

Follow these guidelines and always refer to the label of your smoking chips or pellets for specific directions.

Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill Lid allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking temperature for the food you are grilling.

Fill your smoker box with your prepared smoking chips or pellets.

Dried herbs and spices may also be added to produce different flavors.

Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and place your smoker box on a Cooking Grid or Savor Plate grill Burner.

Question:

My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer:

Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source first.

This will draw gas across the manifold helping prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and prevent proper grill lighting.

Also try this procedure:

1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF.

Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.

2. if your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control

Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test of ALL gas connections and gas sources as explained in the Use and Care section of this manual.

3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear and repeat the lighting procedure.

Question:

Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my regulator. What causes this? And- My grill has a low

flame and sometimes will not light. Why?

Answer:

The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator.

A low volume of sound is normal and will not

interfere

with the operation of your grill. Loud

or

excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and

intermittent

lighting may be caused by the regulator's excess gas flow device.

Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to your grill.

Lighting the main Burner farthest from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold.

Note: This procedure should be done your grill.

Question:

Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids in the dishwasher?

Answer:

Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly.

Question:

Some

stainless

steel grills specify 304 grade construction while others all?

What is the difference?

do not mention a grade at

Answer:

All stainless grades are not created equal.

The 304 grade, also called 18-8 stainless steel, is prized for its excellent performance resistance to rust and corrosion and good at high temperatures, which makes it ideal for grill construction.

304 grade stainless steel is by far the most popular stainless steel and contains 18-20% chromium and

8-10% nickel, making it non-magnetic.

Some stainless steel grills are constructed stainless steel which contains 16-18% of Type chromium

430 but generally less than 1% nickel.

It is magnetic with less corrosion and rust resistance and designed for limited temperature use.

Beware of stainless steel grills that offer no claim of grade because what looks shiny on the sales floor could become a problem on your patio.

How can you tell if a product is made of 304 grade stainless?

Take the simple magnet test.

If a magnet sticks to the stainless steel it is 430 grade.

If a magnet does not stick you can trust its 304 grade quality.
