WARMING RACKS
A warming rack may be included with your barbeque and
provides you with additional cooking space away from direct
heat. This is useful when cooking delicate items such as fish,
boneless chicken breasts or vegetables. Warming racks are also
a great place to keep food warm that is already done so you can
serve your entire meal at the same time.
Tip:
A light application of cooking oil prior to use will help to
keep food from sticking to the warming rack.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS
Some flare-up during grilling is desirable to create the smoke,
which gives barbequed food its unique flavor and appearance.
However, excessive flare-up can not only ruin your food, it may
lead to a dangerous condition as well. By excessively raising the
temperature within your barbeque, particularly if a build up of
grease in your barbeque ignites, these flare-ups may result in an
uncontrolled grease fire.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
• Trim excess fat from meats before cooking
• Cook fatty meats on a low setting, or by using the indirect
method as described above
• Ensure that your cooking system is free of excess grease from
previous usage
• Check that the grease drain hole is not blocked
• Cook with lid down to cut down on the flow of air
• Reduce the heat settings
