The preparation of meat, whether rare, medium,or well done, is affected to a large degree by thethickness of the cut.The cooking time is affected by the type of meat,the size and shape of the cut, the temperature ofthe meat when cooking begins, and the degreeof preparation desired.It is recommended that meat be defrostedovernight in the refrigerator as opposed to amicrowave. This generally yields a juicier cut ofmeat.Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turnthe meat. A spatula will not puncture the meatand let the juices run out.To get the juiciest meat, add seasoning or saltafter cooking is finished and turn the meat onlyonce during cooking. Juices are lost when themeat is turned several times. Turn the meat justafter the juices begin to bubble to the surface.Trim excess fat from the meat before cooking. Toprevent steaks or chops from curling duringcooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2 inchintervals .WARNINGDo not leave the grill unattended while cooking.GRILL COOKING CHARTFOOD WEIGHT ORTHICKNESSFLAMESIZEAPPROXIMATETIMESPECIAL INSTRUCTIONSAND TIPSVEGETABLES Slice.
