Default New Grill, first meal?

For my birthday (not till the 29th) Bob bought me an outdoor, infrared
gas grill -- The Char-Broil commercial grade Quantum. It's being
delivered tomorrow. I brought home the manual so I could read up on it
before it gets here. It will already be fully assembled (big yay!) There
are a couple of recipes by Chef Marvin Woods in the back of the manual
that look tasty. One is for Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloins and the other
for a chicken breast salad.

But maybe I should choose some sort of easy "getting to know you" recipe
like burgers or dogs. Anybody have experience with the infrared grills
and if so what tips and tricks do you offer?

I suppose I should migrate to a more appropriate group for grilling, but
I thought I would hit you guys up for tips first. I'm pretty damned good
with charcoal and regular gas grilling, but this is a whole other animal
-- though the manual says that temperature and time it's closer to charcoal.

It sure is a purty thang ....

My vote is for "Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloins". Pork tenderloins are
very easy to grill, so they are a good starter meal, and beyond that
Jerk pork (or chicken or fish or beef, etc,) is very good. I don't know
what that recipe looks like, but personally I always use Walkerswood
paste type Jerk rub (http://www.walkerswood.com).

To further my other reply, burgers would be good as well, as long as you
grind the meat fresh (from a large cut) and get it on the grill within a
few minutes. With a fresh ground oxidation and contamination free burger
and an IR grill you can really sear the outside well while leaving the
interior nice and rare for about the best burger you can get (also works
with really hot charcoal @ 1,200 degrees).

They're having problems with the site at the moment, but I did find it
on Amazon. It looks mighty spicy with the scotch bonnet peppers! Bob
will love it, I'm sure. I'll see if I can't find it locally. Thanks for
the suggestion!

The book recommended an 80/20 lean to fat ratio. I prefer more of an
85/15 for grilling. We also like grinding our own meat.

Thanks again!

Like all new cooking appliances, I imagine it will
out-gas various chemicals from painted/enamelled
surfaces for the first few times you use it.
Therefore, I'd recommend something cheap and
expendable for the first few uses to break it in,
like sausages, potatoes, etc.

Indeed. They recommend a good 15-20 minutes at high before cooking with it.

Speaking of sausages, Bob got a new LEM sausage stuffer. I'm looking
forward to seeing fresh sausage on the grill (though I won't be
partaking of much of it unless it's something in the chicken/apple variety).

If it's IR, it ought to get plenty hot enough to do the initial burn-off
in a short pre-heat cycle. It's probably all stainless anyway.

I'd double or triple that at least. I'd do a thorough
bake-out before eating anything that came out of it.

Huh... why cook anything, just fire er up and let er rip for like 15
minutes... and this way you can see and/or smell any fumes and not mistake
them from cooking food... when fumes are gone then you're ready to cook. Ya
see Thorazine... we're very different, I'm very logical, and your pea brain
is totally burnt from drugging.

See, Thorazine, how my brain just automatically knows stuff... and I hadn't

I am not participating in a poor economy. Thanks to the liberal

Chicken with roasted garlic is very nice in a snag.

And beef and cracked pepper.

Oh? I beg to differ--although I do think the media has played a
large and negative role in this.

So, are you going consumer or prosumer with the machine? That
commericial grade one looks like it could be one of those heart-lung

Good luck. My neighbour was after me to buy a new GM form his lot... to
keep Canadian autoworkers working. Then he went down to Mexico for a two

First off, may you have the happiest of birthdays, Lin!!!

That's a gorgeous grill! <says Wayne who is turning green>

FIrst meal? New recipes are always great to try, but my own preference
would be for something tried and true that you're used to making, just to
get the feel of the new grill. Actually, the first thing I'd cook on it
for myself would be burgers and brats. :-)

I think you may be right, but I did ask Bob to find a recipe from the
Char-Broil site that I would happily cook for him. I'm adventurous
enough to try it the first time out:

Asian Beef Salad

P.S. Wayne, I might find myself in your neck of the woods either late,

email is good if you care to post me off-list.

Looks great! Let us know how things turn out. I can't get used to
not cooking (outdoors) with charcoal.

Bob likes that painfully hot stuff. I've seen him send back Thai food to
have them make it spicier, even when the waitperson was told up front,
"Make it as hot as you can." Then we learned the term "triple-Thai hot."

Me, I'm more of a medium-warm type. I prefer my food of the painless
variety. "Comfort" food? ;-)

Isn't there a term "pet-pet"? I may very well misremember this.

I'd never heard the term before, but I think I have a connotation I
might like to use it for. ;-)

Thanks! I'll be sure to let everyone know how it does and what I finally
decide to cook on it. This morning I remembered I have some fresh
portobellos that might be really good thickly sliced and grilled.

Something like that would be less sensitive to experimentation too.

Ya see, the liberal media HATES America, blake, and that is pretty evident
when they "interpret" the news supplied to them from various sources...it's
always a "Chicken Little" spin they put on thangs. There are plenty of
folks out there who are doing just FINE...

anecdotes are not evidence. besides which, plenty of people are not 'doing
just fine.'

The maiden use of the grill was this:

Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
Grill-Steamed Corn on the Cob
(both with Molasses Butter)

Grilled Artichokes
Grilled Scallops
(both with Lemon-Sriracha Aïoli)

I drank Gewürztraminer grape juice; I think Lin drank diet Coke with lime.

We meant to grill the portobello mushrooms as well, but we forgot. We had
plenty of food already, so it was just as well.

Tomorrow we'll grill hamburgers and the mushrooms along with them. We also
plan to grill hot dogs and to make cole slaw (with Savoy cabbage) and potato
salad. Hmm...maybe doctored baked beans, too.

Sooo, this is already proving to be a good "investment"?

I imagine their money is literally going up in smoke faster than before.
