Recipes (Cont.) George Foreman’s Power Burger A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up for it with plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegeta- bles have been added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other grains or cereal. In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically contain one less fat gram than regular or even reduced-calorie buns. If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1 gram lower in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8 grams of fat versus 9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss contain half the fat with 4 grams per ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per tablespoon versus a whop- ping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach. 3/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed) 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs 2-1/4 lbs. lean ground beef •In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix well. •Shape the mixture into twelve 4-inch wide patties. •Preheat the Grill on MED/HIGH for 8 minutes. •Place the patties on the Grill. •Lower Cover and cook 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook another 6-7 min- utes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear. •Serves 12 This recipe is from The Healthy Gourmet (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie Calbom.CGA No. 600 GR_GP300_IB_17-1-03 17/1/03 2:42 PM Page 9

Choose ground turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground turkey containing dark meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is a good source of niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to maintain a healthy nervous system. Early symptoms of niacin deficiency that appear in the nervous system are apprehension, irritability, depres- sion, weakness, and loss of memory. To prevent niacin deficiency, include plenty of lean turkey, fish, whole wheat, potatoes, corn flower, eggs, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots. 2 slightly beaten egg whites 2/3 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 cup finely snipped dried apples or 1 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs 4 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley 1 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp. ground sage 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 lb. lean ground turkey breast •In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except turkey.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly IMPORTANT:Clean burner assembly prior to use after storing, at the begin- ning of grilling season or an inactive period of one month. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes, especially during colder months. The nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill. In order to clean the inside of the burner tubes, the Burner Assembly must be removed from the grill. Make sure the propane cylinder, Grill Plate and Drip Container have been removed before proceeding. 1. Turn the Grill Body upside down. Refer to Figure 9 and locate the clip that holds the venturi to the Regulator Assembly. Pull straight up on the clip, set it to the side and return the Grill Body to the Upright position. 2. Refer to Figure 10 and locate the two machine screws that secure the Burner Assembly to the grill. Loosen and remove these screws, making sure you retain the screws, washers and hex nuts for reassembly. Assembly Instructions CAUTION: It is advisable that two persons assemble the grill. Never use the Storage Case/Stand as a chair. Never load anything on the Storage Case/Stand except the grill. Never load over 6 1/2 lbs. (3kg) on each Side Tray.

Testing for Leaks SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: •Test for leaks outdoors in a well venti- lated area. First: 1. Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid detergent with an equal amount of water. Use mild soap and water. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING AGENTS. 2. Be sure that the Temperature Control Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position. 3. Use a clean paint brush to brush soapy solution onto connection between gas cylinder and Regulator orifice, and watch for bubbles. 4. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Retighten connection and repeat steps (2) and (3). •Test all gas connections for leaks before using your propane grill. •Test for leaks every time you connect the gas supply. •Do not smoke while checking for leaks. •DANGER - Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. NOTE:If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam- aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin- der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak test. Checking the Ignitor: •The Temperature Control Knob must be in the “LOCK/OFF” position. Press the Ignitor button rapidly. A “CLICK” should be heard and spark seen through Flame Viewing Hole.
