SUGGESTED GRILLING ChART
Use these suggested cooking times purely as a guide. They're for fresh or fully defrosted
food. When cooking frozen foods, add – minutes for seafood, and – 6 minutes for
meat and poultry, depending on the thickness and density of the food. Cooking time
will depend upon thickness and cut being used. Check food is cooked through before
serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more. Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince,
burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Use a cooking thermometer as a test for doneness.
If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food. Cook
fish until the flesh is opaque throughout. When cooking prepackaged foods, follow any
guidelines on the package or label.
Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. Using a meat thermometer cook test for doneness by
inserting the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure
the thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.
