SEAR GRILL — Models 883, 884S and 886 only

The flat portion of the Sear Grill can be used in the traditional manner for old favo ri t e s, while

grease drains away from the food during the cooking process.

• M a rinate tougher cuts of meats to tenderi z e them before gri l l i n g .

• To avoid drying out meat and fish, turn only once and do not pierce.

• Use a large flat plastic spatula to turn meat and fish to support the food while turn i n g .

The wa rming tray allows foods to be stored in a keep wa rm tray under the griddle for short

p e riods of time while additional foods are prepared on top of the gri d d l e.
