Cooking Functions
Your Weber Lumin grill offers versatile cooking options:
- Searing: Use the high-heat setting to achieve perfect sear marks on meats and vegetables.
- Smoking: Place wood chips in the designated steam/smoke tray (if applicable) and set the grill to the smoke setting for added flavor.
- Steaming/Boiling: Utilize the steam/smoke tray with water for steaming vegetables or boiling small items.
- Keep Warm: After cooking, turn the control knob to the "Keep Warm" setting to maintain food temperature for serving. Open the lid for buffet-style serving.
