Jenn-Air CVG4100 Cooktop User Manual


 
With your Jenn-Air grill literally any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rulesto followand will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
Be sure to follow directions on page 15 for using the grill.
Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due tovariations
in meats. Experience willquickly indicate cookingtimes as well as which settings
work best.
For best results, buy top grade meat. Meatthat is at least 3/4 inch will grill better
than thinner cuts.
Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one
sideof meatto cookto desired doneness, or untiljuices appear onthe top surface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss ofjuices.
When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that exsessive
amounts wind up inside your grill end do not improve the food flavor. Apply
sauces during the last 15 to 20minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating
(see page 15).
There are many meat marinadeswhich will helptenderize less expensive cuts of
meat for cooking on the grill.
Certain foods,such aspoultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not useforks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
To help retainmeat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.
