Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Place in a shallow bowl or pie plate
and add marinade. Coat thoroughly. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes at room
temperature (for marinating longer, cover and refrigerate – remove from
refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling).
Preheat Griddler
™
on High. When green indicator light comes on, allow the
excess marinade to drip off the chops and arrange the chops evenly spaced on
the bottom grill plate. Close grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pork chops
have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C); do not overcook or the
pork may become dry. Remove to a warm platter and allow to rest for
5 minutes before serving.
*When grilling in the closed position, it is important that the pork chops all be
the same thickness for best results.

Function: Closed

Plates: Grill
Makes 4 servings
1-1/2
pounds (750 g) freshly ground beef round or chuck (15% lean)
1/4
teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
1/4
teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the Cuisinart
™
Griddler
™
fitted with the grill plates in the closed grill
position on High.
Working the ground chuck as little as possible, shape into four 6-ounce (175 g)
burger patties, about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. (The best way to do this is to
use a 4-inch (10 cm) round cookie cutter). Place 6 ounces (175 g) of meat in
the cookie cutter and gently press to fill the cookie cutter evenly. It is important
that all the burgers be of the same height for optimal grilling results.)
Place the burgers on the bottom grill plate of the Griddler
™
, evenly spaced.
Close the Griddler
™
and grill for 4 to 6 minutes [until the internal temperature
reaches from 140°F to 165°F (60-74°C)] depending on personal preference.
Remove burgers from Griddler
™
and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve hot
with your favourite condiments.
