Using the SEAR Function:

The SEAR function provides a burst of high heat for searing meats, locking in juices and creating desirable grill marks.

• After preheating, press the SEAR button. The grill will rapidly increase to its maximum searing temperature.
• Place your food on the grill and close the lid. Sear for the recommended time (typically 1-2 minutes per side for thin cuts).
• After searing, you can either remove the food or reduce the temperature to continue cooking at a lower heat until done.

Cooking Specific Foods:

• Steak, Chicken, Fish, Vegetables: Use the ceramic grill plates. Adjust temperature based on desired doneness and food thickness.
• Grilled Sandwiches/Paninis: The adjustable hinge allows for even pressure on sandwiches.
• Mini Burgers (Sliders): Use the included slider plates for perfectly sized mini burgers.
