Sharon, no apologies needed. Recently, I ran across an old post from Dale saying that these kinds of messages (about food preparation and food devices) are appropriate.
Thank you for letting us know about your first experience with this grill. I have cooked nothing more complicated than hot dogs on it, for I've been a little afraid of how it would turn out! Now I know there's nothing to fear, so I am going to be more adventurous, thanks to you. <Smile>. I'd forgotten that it beeps at each level of doneness, and I think that's very important for people to know. Other grills don't do that. This one was well thought out. Happy grilling!
