Cooking GuideTips:

Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for raw and cooked meat.
Always marinade in a tightly covered nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
If the leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate bacterial growth.
Similar to a stovetop frying pan, grease from high-fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter on the countertop. Protect the countertop as necessary.
Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs, and uncooked smoked or fresh sausages for best results. If not partially cooked, these meats may become over browned on the outside before the center is done.
To prevent scratching the coating, use only nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the grill plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives, that can scratch the cooking surface.
Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
