BEGINNER RECIPE
DIRECTIONS
1 Plug thermometer into unit. Insert grill grate in unit
and close hood. Select GRILL. The unit will default
to HI, which is the correct temperature setting for
this recipe. Select PRESET. The unit will default to
BEEF, which is the correct function for this recipe.
Use the arrows to the left of the display to set
desired doneness. Press START/STOP to begin
preheating.
2 While unit is preheating, divide ground beef into
6 portions and form each into a loosely formed
4-inch patty. Use your thumb to make a
1
/2-inch
indent in the center of each patty (this will help the
burgers keep their shape uniform during cooking).
Season patties with salt and pepper, as desired.
3 Insert thermometer horizontally into the center
of one of the patties (see thermometer placement
instructions on page 7).
4 When unit beeps to signify it has preheated,
place patties on grill grate. Close hood over the
thermometer cord.
5 Cook burgers, without flipping, until the unit beeps
to signal they have reached your desired doneness.
Use oven mitts to remove thermometer from
burger, then top each burger with a slice of cheese.
Remove burgers from unit.
6 If desired, toast the buns directly on the grill grate
by selecting GRILL, setting temperature to HI,
and setting time to 1 minute. Enjoy burgers with
condiments and toppings of your choice.
