ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN:
Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill includes a basting pan for use with the rotisserie. Place the pan onto
the grill racks (or, if necessary, directly onto the briquettes if the grill racks are removed to accommodate
large cuts of meat). This pan will catch drippings from the meat being cooked, preventing grease build-
up on the briquettes or Sear-Zone™ IR Burner.
NOTE: Never use the basting pan when any of the grill burners are lit. Basting pan is for use
with the rotisserie burner only.
ROTISSERIE GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
As a general rule, rotisserie cooking will take 15 ~ 20
minutes per pound of meat. Keep hood closed as
much as possible to improve performance.
INFRARED GRILLING TIPS:
Even for an experienced chef, infrared cooking can, at first, present a bit of a challenge. By following
these simple tips, you will soon be producing juicer, more flavorful foods than you have ever experienced
before. As a general rule, foods will cook in less time than they would take on an ordinary grill.
By turning food frequently (approximately every 2 minutes), excessive charring is simply avoided.
ALFRESCO RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TURN FOOD BEING GRILLED ON A SEAR
ZONE™ IR-BURNER EVERY TWO MINUTES DURING THE COOKING PERIOD.
NEVER ALLOW FOOD TO COOK MORE THAN 2 1/2 MINUTES WITHOUT TURNING.
SEARING IS THE KEY:
An infrared grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears meats. Searing locks in flavor and
juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and
drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Just the result you want with most grilled foods.
HOW TO GRILL WITH IR:
Properly pre-heat the grill by following the lighting instructions on page 11. Place food on grill grids and
turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired taste. Do not let food cook more than 2 1/2
minutes without turning. Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90° at each turn.
APPROXIMATE SEAR-ZONE™ COOKING TIMES:
 These are recommended times only. Due to the variations on the cuts of meats and personal taste,
your cooking times may be different. Use your discretion when cooking with ALFRESCO™ Gourmet
Grill Sear-Zone™ IR-Burners.
