Grilling Guidelines
• 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 tempera­
ture, 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 tem­
perature 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.
• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use
of oil, certain foods will stick slightly
to nonstick surfaces. This is easily
prevented. Before turning on your
grill, brush or spray the grids lightly
with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
(Never add oil or spray to a heated
grill-this Is dangerous.)
• Always read all safety Information.
