Using Your Infrared Sear Burner
(on some models)

meat. 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.
■
Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
■
Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is
trimmed away prior to grilling.
■
Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to
sear.
■
Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side,
then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish
grilling to the desired doneness.
