How to Use a Char-Broil Grill
There is no doubt about it, people seem to love food cooked on a barbeque grill. Barbeques are an excellent way to bring friends and family together to enjoy some great food. Properly using a char-broil grill is not that hard to do and can lead to having some great tasting food.
Use the instruction booklet that comes with the char-broil grill as a guide. Connect the grill to the gas tank. Make sure that the connections are secure and that the grill knobs are not turned on while you are making this connection.
Prepare the grilling surface. Make sure that the surface is clean and spray it with a non-stick cooking spray.
Turn on the grill. Turn the dials or knobs to the “ON” position and ignite the grill. Adjust the temperature of the grill to the desired level of heat. If you are planning on searing your food first, turn the temperature up as high as possible. For slow cooking, keep the temperature down to low heat.
Cook your food on the grill. Cooking directly over the heat will cook the food faster. Cooking off to the side of the heat will cook the food slower and give it more flavor. Searing the food over high heat locks in the flavor. After you have seared the food on both sides, turn the heat down. Foods that you wish to slow cook do not have to be seared, if you prefer not to do so.
Use a food thermometer to find out when your food is done. Chicken and poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and beef and pork should be cooked to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove your food and enjoy. When the grill has cooled down, clean it with a grill brush.
