DIRECT HEAT
Direct heat means that the heat source is directly under
the food. Direct heat works great for small, tender pieces
of food that cook quickly, such as hamburgers, steaks,
chops, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish,
and sliced vegetables.
>
Preheat the grill with all burners on high.
>
Adjust all burners to the temperature noted in the recipe.
>
Close the lid of the grill and lift it only to turn food or to test
for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time.
INDIRECT HEAT
Indirect heat means that the food is between, not directly
over, heat sources. Indirect heat works better for larger,
tougher foods that require longer cooking times, such
as roasts, whole chickens, and ribs. It is also the proper
way to finish cooking thicker foods or bone-in cuts that
have been seared or browned first over direct heat.
>
Preheat the grill with all burners on high.
>
Adjust the burners to the temperature noted
in the recipe and turn off the burner(s) directly
below where the food will be placed.
>
For best results, place roasts, poultry, or large cuts of
meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable drip pan.
Any drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.
THREE EASY STEPS TO SUCCESS:
✓
KEEP IT CLEAN:
The key to the Weber Original Grilling System™ is, when juices drip off the
meat, they drop down on the hot Flavorizer
smoke. Juices that are not vaporized drop down into the grease tray where they
are funneled into the catch pan. This system helps prevent flare-ups and gives
you better control of your grill. Always check the catch pan before each time
you grill and replace the disposable drip pan when it is near full. Follow our
maintenance plan found in your Owner's Guide to keep your grill in tip-top shape.
✓
PREHEATING:
Avoid having your food stick to the grates and keep them clean by
preheating your grill and brushing the grates with a stainless steel wire,
grate cleaning brush. This simple step is essential for removing food
particles and burned grease and for creating the perfect sear marks.
To preheat your gas grill follow the ignition instructions in your Owner's Guide.
Close the lid and heat the grill until the temperature reaches between 500°F
and 550°F (260°C and 290°C). This will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on weather
conditions, such as air temperature and wind. After the grill is preheated brush
any food particles, grease and debris off the cooking grate with a stainless steel
wire, grate cleaning brush. Always inspect your grill brush for loose bristles and
any bristles that may have stuck to the grates. Then you are ready to grill.
✓
KEEP THE LID DOWN:
Your Weber
grill is designed to work much like a convection oven. Keeping
®
the lid down prevents heat from escaping. Lift the lid only when it's time
to turn the food or check for doneness to ensure great results.
