Cooking Methods
For optimal use of the Sure Sear
TM
 system, the following cooking 
methods are recommended.
 Direct Heat
Cooking by Direct Heat means the food is placed on grill grates 
directly above lighted burners. Hood position affects total cooking 
time. 
Direct Heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural 
juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of 
time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a 
fl avorful grilled coating. 
Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the Indirect Heat cooking method 
when it is windy.
Cooking by Indirect Heat means the food is placed on the grill 
grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted 
burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
If possible, turn on two burners.  Cook with the hood down. This 
will shorten the cooking time.
