Grilling Tips
• If grilling meats with a high fat content, such as hamburger,
do not leave the grill unattended. Small flare-ups or smoke
may occur from dripping fat or pieces of meat falling onto
the element.
How to Clean
WARNING: Heating element is not immersible. To reduce the
risk of fire or electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug, or
heating element in water or place in dishwasher.
• To reduce the possibility of smoke, trim all visible fat from
meats. Also, avoid marinades that have a high oil content.
• You may grill fish steaks, but not fish fillets. The fillets tend to
break apart.
1. Unplug grill from outlet and let cool completely. Remove
power cord from cord receptacle.
2. Remove rack, heating element, and support rod. Carefully
dispose of any grease in drip pan and base.
3. Wash rack, support rod, drip pan, and base in dishwasher or
hot, soapy water. If necessary, soak and scrub with a nylon
scouring pad. Do not use steel wool or other abrasives. Rinse
and dry. Do not immerse heating element or power cord in
water or other liquid.
• Do not grill breaded products.
Grilling Times
The following cooking times are a guide. Cook to the desired
degree of doneness. The times listed are the total cooking times.
Food should be turned half way through total cooking time.
4. Some grease or food particles may accumulate where the
heating element connects to the cord receptacle. To clean this
area, let heating element cool completely then carefully wipe
clean with a damp cloth.

Grilling Guidelines
Basic Burger
• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time
will vary based on the temperature of the grill, the surrounding air,
and the food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust
the cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for
extended lengths of time (2-plus hours). The acids in foods can
react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use glass,
ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.
• Meat Safety Tip: To reduce the risk of spoiling, store meat in the
refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate meat
at room temperature, especially in warm climates.
• Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce on cooked foods.
The leftover marinade must first be boiled for one to two minutes to
kill any bacteria from the raw food that was marinated.
• Although some cookbooks may say to bring your food to room
temperature before cooking, with few exceptions, we don’t
recommend this tip for grilled foods. If the temperature is in the
80s or 90s, foods can spoil quickly.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Grilling time: 22-28 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
11⁄2 pounds ground chuck
1⁄4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
4 hamburger buns
1. Combine the ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a medium
mixing bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly, using your hands.
Shape the mixture into four patties, each 3⁄4 inch thick in the
center and at the edges. (Even thickness ensures even
cooking and prevents the edges from drying out before
the center is cooked.)
2. Place the patties on grill. Grill for 11 to 14 minutes per
side, turning once. (According to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, all ground meat should be cooked to at least
medium doneness - 160 degrees - or until the center of
the patty is no longer pink.) Make a small incision in the
center of each patty to determine doneness.
• Always read all safety information.

3. Toast the buns by placing them, split side down, on the edges
of the grill grid for about 1 minute or until lightly browned.
4. Remove the burgers from the grill and serve on toasted
hamburger buns.
1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and garlic. Generously
rub or brush the flavored oil on both sides of the steaks.
Sprinkle the steaks lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill 35 to 45 minutes for
medium doneness, turning every 15 minutes.
Variation Section:
3. Remove the steaks from the grill, cover loosely with foil and let
the steaks rest for a few minutes before thinly slicing across
the grain. Season with salt and additional pepper
(if desired) before serving.

3. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
Discard the marinade. If desired, sprinkle the steak with salt.
Place the steak on the grill and grill 35 to 45 minutes for

4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for
5 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Thinly slice across

the bowl; refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
4. Place the wings on the grill. Grill for 25 to 30 minutes or until
done, turning with tongs every 10 minutes to prevent burning
and to ensure even cooking. To test for doneness, cut into the
thickest part of the wing, the meat should be white, with no
trace of pink and the juices should run clear.
