GASPRO 7402 Propane Infrared Grill

About Infrared Grill

• Most of the time when you’re learning to grill or thinking about buying an outdoor grill, the big question is whether to go with charcoal or gas.
• Each has its pros and cons, so the choice often comes down to personal preference and what style of outdoor grilling you plan to do most.
• But there’s a third choice: infrared grills. Infrared grills work differently than the other two types – most notably, infrared grills are capable of generating significantly higher heat than either a charcoal or a conventional gas grill.

How Do Infrared Grills Work?

• Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is invisible to the human eye. At very short wavelengths — like with your infrared remote – this energy can’t be seen or felt. But at longer wavelengths, infrared can be felt in the form of heat. When you walk barefoot on hot sand at the beach, the heat you’re feeling is the infrared radiation emitted by the sand (which itself has been heated by the sun).
• When it comes to grilling, that’s all infrared radiation is: heat waves that are emitted by a hot object that has itself been heated by a propane or natural gas-powered heat element.
• The hot object in an infrared grill is usually a piece of steel, ceramic or glass, with a gas element underneath it.
• The difference between infrared and conventional grilling therefore is that conventional grilling first heats the air, and then cooks the food; whereas infrared grills don’t produce hot air, they simply produce heat. As a result, infrared grills are capable of emitting much higher amounts of heat directly onto the food. This is why infrared grills can produce temperatures of up to 1,500°F.
• Moreover, it only takes two to three minutes for infrared grills to start producing these temperatures, which saves a lot of time with preheating.
• Thanks to their mega-high temperatures, infrared grills cook very fast. And for some types of grilling, that happens to be exactly what you want. The most notable example of this is steak.
• Known to all, the key to cooking a steak is cooking as quickly as possible over as high a heat as possible. The hotter and quicker, the better, because steaks get tougher if they sit over the heat longer.
• Your goal is to sear the outside and produce a flavorful brown crust while ensuring that the interior remains tender and juicy.
• And an infrared grill – with its cooking temperature approaching 1,000 °F – happens to be perfect for that. It might only take a minute on each side and even less for thin cuts like skirt steak.
• Another advantage of infrared grills is that they aren’t prone to flare-ups since anything that drips from the food is instantly vaporized when it hits the glass or ceramic.
• In a word, infrared grills are much more efficient and cook much more quickly and cleanly than conventional grills.

Steps to grill delicious meat:

1. Lay the meat in the middle of the grid with tongs and push it into the grill chamber with the wood handle hook. Place the meat at a height that is about 0.8″ (20 mm) away from the ceramic burner plate to ensure that the meat surface sears at maximum temperature. Make sure that the meat does not touch the temperature sensor otherwise the gas feed will shut off and the burner will go out.
2. Pull the meat out and flip it over to the other side with the grilling shovel as soon as it has achieved the desired browning. This generally occurs in 45 seconds to one minute and 15 seconds, however, it mostly depends on the quality and freshness of the meat, as well as the ambient temperature and the temperature of the meat at the start of grilling.
   • ( Tips: To get crisp and well-seared meat with the best flavour, it is recommended that meat should be kept at room temperature before grilling.)
3. Take out the meat when – according to your taste – it is grilled enough and cool it off a little bit, then put it back again to grill each side for about 10-15 seconds, which highly helps to make it more crisp.

SHUTTING OFF

• After each grilling, please always shut your grilling devices off! To do that, first, turn the controller knob clockwise to the “ ” position, then press and turn it to the “OFF” position. Second, turn the propane supply off immediately.

Caring For Your Grill WARNING

• All cleaning, transporting and storing should be carried out only when the grill is cool, the gas supply is stopped and/or the propane cylinder/tank is disconnected.

Clean

• Clean the grill and its parts thoroughly after each use. Using lukewarm water will make the cleaning a lot easier.
• The grids, grease tray and all other parts can simply be cleaned in the dishwasher. Once done cleaning, wipe the grill and parts with a soft dry cloth/towel.

WARNING
