Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness by inserting the meat thermometer
into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the thermometer is not touching the
bone or griddle plate.
COOKING hINTS AND TIPS
• Use tender cuts of meat.
• Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before cooking.
• To avoid drying out meat and fish, do not pierce with a utensil.
• Better cooking results will be achieved with boneless cuts of meat, chicken and fish.
• Cut edge of meat in several places to prevent curling.
• When cooking fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts under to prevent
overcooking.
• If cooking more than one item, select foods of even thickness. This will promote
consistent doneness and appearance.
• When cooking small portions, make sure meat is centered on griddle. When cooking
larger portions, distribute evenly and allow  inch of space between foods to promote
uniform cooking.
• Some foods such as eggs and pancakes cook better if the nonstick surface is conditioned
with vegetable shortening before preheating. If necessary, remove excess oil with a
paper towel.
• Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at too high a
temperature can cause them to dry out.
• If food is undercooked when removed from griddle, simply return to griddle for additional
cooking time.
