you can brown meats, cook onions,  
grill vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes,  
steam fish and toast sandwiches  
with little attention from the cook.  
Plan ahead for quick meals by  
freezing boneless chicken breasts  
and burger patties for future meals.  
Place individual servings on a bak-  
ing sheet and freeze. When frozen,  
place in plastic bags. To grill, see  
the “Grilling Chart” on page 6.  
Use the grill to “prep and cook”  
foods for traditional range-top  
recipes: brown ground beef for  
spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips  
for a Chinese dish. Since the grill  
cooks top and bottom at the same  
time, there’s no need to stir while  
cooking.  
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down.  
Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper  
towel or dish cloth.  
Cook “guilt-free” French fries  
without the extra oil or make perfect  
French toast that doesn’t need to  
be turned during cooking.
