Grilling Guidelines - Time Table (pdf)

  • For gas grilling, guidelines were developed using Weber Genesis gas grills. Because gas grill brands vary greatly, grilling times may need to be adjusted. Consult owner's manual for specific grilling information.

  • For charcoal grilling, when coals are medium, ash-covered (approximately 30 minutes), spread in single layer and check cooking temperature.  Position cooking grid. To check temperature, cautiously hold the palm of your hand above the coals at cooking height.  Count the number ofseconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat forces you to pull it away; approximately 4 .seconds for medium heat.

  • Use an instant read thermometer, inserted horizontally into the center of steak or burger, to accurately determine doneness.

  • Charring meat, poultry or fish is not recommended.
