An Important
Note About
Heat Settings
The
suggested
heat
settings
shown
are approximate.
There
are many
factors
such
as outside
temperature,
wind
conditions
and grill location
that affect
your
grill
performance.
We offer these
cooking
times
as a conve-
nience,
but suggest
you watch
the temperature
gauge
and
adjust
the heat
accordingly.
Preparing to Roast
Roasting
uses the indirect
cooking
method.
Therefore,
the
food
should
be placed
on the left or right side of your grill
with the Burner lit on the opposite
side. You can also use
the supplied
Cooking
Grid with an aluminum
drip pan
underneath
allowing
you to collect juices
for making
gravies.
Remember,
indirect
cooking
requires
the Lid of
your grill to be down.
Preheating
your grill is not required
for slow cooking
methods
such as roasting.
If you do choose
to preheat
your
grill before
roasting,
turn the Burners
on Hi and close Lid for
approximately
2-3
minutes.
Food
preparation
Trim meat
of excess fat. Truss
meat and poultry with
cooking
string
to retain
shape
if desired.
Bacon
strips can
be used to cover the outside
surface
of lean meat and
poultry to help prevent
it from drying
out. Another
method
for keeping
food
moist during
roasting
is to put water
in a
cooking
pan, then cover with foil. The foil should
be
removed
for the first or the last part of the cooking
time to
ensure
proper
browning.
Tips for roasting
Except
when
roasting
with water
in a roasting
pan, the
juices
that collect
in the pan can be used as the base for a
tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking
pan directly over the
heat, add extra butter if needed,
then
add several
spoon-
fuls of flour to thicken
sauce.
Finally, add sufficient
chicken
or beef stock
to obtain the desired
consistency.
Once the meat is cooked,
remove
it from your grill and
cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15
minutes
which
allows
the juices
to settle. This will make
carving
easier and ensure
a tender,
juicy roast.
