UsinG the seAr stAtion ®
Your Weber ® gas barbecue includes a sear burner for searing meats such as steak,
poultry parts, fish, and chops) .
Searing is a direct grilling technique which browns the surface of the food at a high
temperature . By searing or browning both sides of the meat you will create a more
desirable flavor by caramelizing the food surface . Searing will also enhance appearance
of the meat with sear marks from the cooking grates . This along with the contrast of
textures and flavors can make food more interesting to the palate .
The Sear Station ® burner has an on or off control setting that works with the two
adjacent main burners . With the sear and adjacent burners you can effectively sear
meats while using other cooking areas for grilling with moderate heat .
Before searing you should turn all of the main burners on HI for 15 minutes to preheat
the grill . Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow for maximum heat and to avoid
flare ups .
Once the grill is preheated, turn the outer burners off or down to low . Leave the center
two burners on HI and ignite the Sear Station Burner .
Place the meat directly over the Sear Station ® . You will Sear each side anywhere from
1 to 4 minutes, depending on the type of meat and thickness . You may turn the food a
quarter turn to make crossing sear marks
(1) before you sear the other side in the same
manner .
Once you are done searing you can finish grilling by moving the meat to a more
moderate heat over the outside burners to achieve the desired doneness .
As you gain experience in using your Sear Station ® , we encourage you to experiment
with different searing times to find results that work best for your taste . ◆
