Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following

inserting the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure
the thermometer is not touching the bone or grilling plate.

GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center
of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food needs
longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
FOOD GRILLING TIME
Asparagus spears 4 – 6 minutes
Bell peppers, assorted colors cut into ½-inch rings 5 – 7 minutes
Mushrooms, thickly sliced 4 – 5 minutes
Onion slices, ½-inch 5 – 7 minutes
Potato slices, ½-inch 15 – 18 minutes
Portobello mushrooms, 3-inch diameter 4 – 6 minutes
Zucchini slices, ½-inch 3 – 4 minutes
Fresh pineapple slices, ½-inch 2 – 4 minutes
GRILLING TIPS:
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently
while cooking.
• Do not overfill grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary, adjust timer using control button.
• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
