Grilling Tips; Grilling Time - George Foreman GR18BW1Q Manual De Instrucciones

Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. Using a meat thermometer, 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.
FOOD TO BE COOKED
Chicken Breast
Chicken Thigh
Beef / Lamb/Veal
Pork
Reheated cooked meats and poultry
GRILLING FRUITS AND vEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grilling plate.) If the
food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
FOOD
Asparagus Spears
Bell peppers, assorted colors cut into ½-inch rings
Mushrooms , thickly sliced
Onion slices, ½-inch
Potato slices, ½-inch
Portabella mushrooms, 3-inch diameter
Zucchini slices, ½-inch
Fresh pineapple slices, ½-inch
GRILLING TIPS:
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only heatproof plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the grill.
Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the high
temperature.

USING ThE BUN WARMER
The grills come equipped with a bun warmer. You can use this feature to warm various
kinds of bread products (hamburger buns, breakfast biscuits, English muffins, tortillas, pita
bread, sliced bagels and mini croissants). For example, if you are cooking hamburgers,
you can place your hamburger buns inside the bun warmer to warm them while you cook
the hamburgers!
Caution: The bun warmer should be used to warm bread products only. It will not cook or
grill any item. It is not intended for defrosting.
Important: The bun warmer cannot hold very thick bread products. If a bread product is
too thick, you may have to cut it (butterfly) to fit.
To use the bun warmer:
Burn warmer cover
Lid latch
. Lift up the lid latch (where it says "LIFT TO OPEN").
2. Place the bread product inside the bun warmer.
3. When bread is in place, close the lid by lifting up on the latch, lowering the lid, and
latching it into place.
Important: Never force the lid closed. Press gently to close lid.
4. Allow 2-3 minutes after the grill has warmed up to complete heating. If you are lacing
bread products in the bun warmer that have been refrigerated, they ill take longer to
warm up.
Caution: The bun warmer does not have a separate operation switch. If you want to
warm some bread, but do not want to cook anything on the grill, please be aware that
the grill will be on and will become very hot.
Warning: Do not keep cooked food (such as meat, vegetables, potatoes, etc.) warm in
the bun warmer! The bun warmer is for bread products only!
Note: The bun warmer cover is specially designed for easy
use. The lid is removable; you can take it off for cleaning. To
remove the cover, raise the cover to an angle of 50 degrees
by lifting the cover at the two hinge connections. Reverse
this procedure to reassemble.
