Suggested Grilling  
Temperatures  and Times
Quesadillas
Prepare quesadillas according to your 
favorite recipe. 
Grill or Griddle; Closed 
(with cover height 
adjuster) 
Preheat both plates to 400°F. Put the prepared quesadilla on 
the preheated lower plate. Close the top and using the cover 
height adjuster, set the upper plate so it is just sitting on top 
of the quesadillas. Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes, depending 
on thickness and filling of the quesadillas. 
Eggs
Fried or over-easy. Up to 4 eggs  
per plate. 
Griddle; Open or Flat 
Preheat to 350°F. Break the eggs onto the hot griddle plates. 
Flip once whites are set, about 3 to 3½ minutes, and then 
remove when cooked to desired doneness. 
French Toast
Prepare French toast as desired. 
Griddle; Open 
Preheat to 350°F. Flip after 3 to 5 minutes, depending on 
thickness. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. 
Steak & Eggs
Up to 2 inches thick.  
Season to taste. Drain off marinade 
well if marinated before grilling. 
Grill and Griddle; Open 
Preheat lower plate to 350°F; upper plate to 450°F. Put the 
seasoned steak(s) on the preheated upper grill plate. Grill for 
about 4 to 10 minutes per side, depending on thickness and 
desired doneness. After flipping steak(s) to cook the second 
side, add the eggs to the preheated griddle plate and cook 
for 3 to 3½ minutes per side. At that time, the steaks should 
be done as well (or shortly thereafter, depending on the 
thickness). 
Vegetables
Have vegetables evenly cut. Season or 
marinate if desired. 
Grill; Open, Flat or Closed  
(if closed, be sure that 
the vegetables are all the 
exact same thickness, or 
results will be uneven) 
Preheat to 400°F. Grill until tender. This will vary depending 
on the types of vegetables used, but should take between  
10 and 30 minutes. Refer to our recipe on page 17 for  
more specifics.

for great recipe ideas)
Prepare pizza dough or use

touching it. Cook until cheese/toppings are melted and 
browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.
