INFRARED SEARING AND COOKING:

cooking.Mostofthehotairistrappedandthereforegreatlyreducesfoodfromdryingout.
Anadvantageofinfraredcookingishighheatintensity.Fuego’sinfraredburnercangenerate

Whilesetonlow,theinfraredburnerproducesaconstantcookingtemperatureofapproximately
400degrees;appropriateformostcookingneeds.
COOKING MEAT AND STEAKS:
1.Igniteburnerandcloselid.
2.Setburneronhighfor10minutestoheatcastirongrate.
3.Placefoodonthegrillsurfacetosearfor1-2minutes,oruntilfoodbeginstolift
