  • SAFETY TIP – Keep a small extinguisher around in case you have any issues.  Remember, if you have a grease fire, don’t panic, close the dome and top and bottom vents if possible, to snuff the flames.  If that doesn’t work, deploy the fire extinguisher
  • Use a 90 second rice pack to heat up rice quickly and easily.
  • Pull the meat off the rotisserie chicken and shred it while doing the rest of the meal prep.
  • Use a thermometer to check the temperature within your grill, as well as the internal temperature of your food.
  • Garnish with black sesame seeds, green onions, or even a little more Tiki Tiki Rub when serving the stir fry.
