MICRO GRILL DIRECTIONS (Please read precautions before using the Micro Grill) Before using the Micro Grill for the first time, preheat your Micro Grill for two minutes to eliminate any surface dust or oils that may have accumulated in the manufacturing or shipping process. Allow the Micro Grill to cool, then clean with dish detergent and water. • Preheat your Micro Grill for two minutes in the microwave oven (longer preheat time may be required for recipes included in this manual). Preheating should never extend beyond 3 minutes. • Carefully open the lid and place the food inside the Micro Grill. Close the Micro Grill lid and press down lightly on the food for full grill contact. The Micro Grill’s floating hinge attachment adjusts to any thickness of food, maximizing the food/grill surface contact. • Place the Micro Grill in the microwave oven. The Micro Grill should be on a level surface and at least 1" from the sides of the microwave. • Cook the food for the length of time as directed in this manual, or according to your cooking preferences. • Carefully remove the Micro Grill from the microwave. The Micro Grill will be hot. Potholders are recommended. Keep the Micro Grill level when removing food to avoid spilling hot liquid that has collected in the reservoir. COOKING TIPS Microwave ovens vary by manufacturer and model. Please check your oven to determine the proper settings. PREHEAT TIME 1300 watt microwave oven Preheat approximately 2 minutes 950 watt microwave oven Preheat approximately 2 minutes 45 seconds Both bone and fat content affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook, while meat positioned under a large bone, may be undercooked. Large fat deposits may absorb heat, leaving the adjacent meat more rare. In addition, uniform sized food will cook more evenly. The thin end of a steak will cook more quickly than the thicker end. GRILLING Not all foods will have the same appearance as foods cooked on a conventional grill. For more distinct grill marks, meats and poultry may be coated with olive oil, butter or a browning sauce such as Worcestershire, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on all meat surfaces before cooking. Surfaces may also be sprinkled with dark spices before cooking. Pressing the lid down lightly on the food before cooking can assist in browning and grilling marks. • Carefully open the lid of the Micro Grill. • Serve and enjoy a deliciously grilled meal! BAKER SPACER INSTRUCTIONS: You can bake pastries like frozen turnovers and crescent rolls at microwave speeds in the Micro Grill. Attach the baker spacers to the handles of the bottom grill plate and enjoy delicious baked foods in just minutes without heating up a large oven. COOKING TIME A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. Cooking times will vary with food shape, starting temperature, microwave power and cooked food preferences. Always cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time provided in each recipe before checking that the food item is cooked to your preference. If additional cooking time is needed, replace the item in the Micro Grill and continue cooking in the microwave. STAND TIME Items left in a closed Micro Grill will continue to cook even after the Micro Grill is removed from the microwave. 4 5
COOKING TIPS CONTINUED ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE Proper cooking depends upon the power, time, temperature and quantity of food. Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures. COOKING TIPS CONTINUED Your Micro Grill will soon prove to be one of the quickest ways to an easy, but fantastic meal. Juicy, flavorful and convenient, these tantalizing time-savers are ready to go in your Micro Grill in just minutes and can be used to create countless dishes. Temperature Food 160° F For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. 165° F For leftovers, ready to reheat refrigerated, deli and carryout fresh foods. 170° F White meat of poultry 180° F Dark meat of poultry Steak Frozen Fresh Hamburger 6 oz 1 /2" thick 1/4 lb. Cooking time (After preheat) 7 minutes 5 minutes To test for doneness, remove the food item from the Micro Grill and insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from the fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking. Fresh Frozen Chicken Breast 6 oz. 2 minutes 3 minutes CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: • Clean your Micro Grill between each use removing any baked on food residue. Fresh Frozen 3 minutes 7 minutes • Use only mild non-abrasive cleaners with a non-stick safe sponge or soft cloth. Salmon Steak 7 oz. • During cleaning do not submerge the Micro Grill in water. Fresh 3 minutes • The non-stick surface of the Micro Grill makes it easy to clean - it’s even dishwasher safe. Before placing your Micro Grill in the dishwasher, separate the top and bottom grill plates: Frozen Hot Dogs 4 minutes 2 minutes 1. Place the cooled Micro Grill on a flat surface with the opening facing you. 2. Lift the lid half way (approximately 45 degrees). 3. While steadying the bottom plate, gently pull the upper plate toward you, detaching it from the bottom plate. • Place the individual grill plates in the upper rack of the dishwasher with the hinges facing downward. A small drainage hole in the hinge allows any excess liquid to escape. Pounding steak and chicken to an even thickness helps it cook quickly and evenly. To get the juiciest, most flavorful Micro Grill experience, experiment with marinates and rubs to infuse foods with a blast of flavor. Depending on microwave wattage, food thickness and food preference, cooking times may vary. • After cleaning and before using, reattach the upper and lower grill plates by aligning the pegs on the upper grill with the channel on the lower and sliding into position. • If moisture becomes trapped in the upper or lower portion of the Micro Grill, drain water and perform preheat on assembled grill to help evaporate moisture. 6 7
