Meat Grilling Chart

These cooking times are only for the George Foreman (or dual contact) type of indoor grill. Do not use these times for any other type of grilling method!

For best results, use boneless meat. Make sure that chicken, hamburgers, and seafood are fully cooked before serving. Steaks can be cooked to any desired doneness. Pork and lamb products should be cooked until the interior is pink.
