GE Monogram Component Cooktop System - Manual (Page 21)

Grill
cooking
guide • Do not leave the cooktop unattended during
“preheat” (knobs turned to “HI”) or any
time the knobs are turned to “HI” with food
on the grill. Most foods will be grilled on the
HI setting.
• Preheat at the HI setting for 10 minutes
before grilling. Change the heat setting as
advised in your cookbook for the food you
are grilling.
• Trim the excess fat from the meat.
• Before cooking steaks, slash the fat around
the edges to prevent curling of the meat.
• Suggested cooking times should be used only
as a guide, since variables in food can change
the cooking times.
• Foods should be turned over and rearranged
as needed.
