About Chef Paja
Our Ronco Ready Grill Chef, Paja Ahmuty Sanchez, started
her career at the early age of 5 years old. As the daughter
of one of the first female chefs to receive a 5-star rating in
the United States, she started her culinary journey peeling
onions in her mother’s restaurant. The smells, tastes, sights
and sounds of the professional kitchen inspired not only her
career, but also her love of the science of cuisine. Officially
joining the industry at the age of 14, she quickly mastered
every area of the professional kitchen. At 26, Chef Paja
opened her own award-winning restaurant, following in
her mother’s footsteps. After 12 successful years as a
restaurateur, she has now set her sights on the consulting
and wine industries. Here, she is able to marry her knowledge
of food and wine and share that knowledge with restaurants
nationwide. In addition to her professional accomplishments,
Chef Paja also enjoys being a full-time chef to her two lovely
daughters, preparing healthy meals that they enjoy as a family
on a nightly basis. And we feel that of all her achievements,
understanding the need for easy, healthy and delicious meals
makes her the most qualified to be our Ronco Ready Grill Chef.

The Ronco Ready Grill
Getting to Know Your
1. Removable Heat Shields – These two stainless steel
heat shields slide down between the elements and
outer housing of the grill. They also sit in-between the
Basket Guides. They reflect heat onto the food and
are removable for easy cleaning.
2. Basket Guides – The Basket Guides squeeze the
Grill Basket and secure the food in place. This gentle
pressure allows for even cooking and beautiful grill
marks. The Basket Guides also protect the side
panels from grease splatter during cooking and are
removable for thorough cleaning.
3. Grill Basket with Handles – This amazing Grill Basket
secures food while it cooks. It has a standard setting
for normal-sized and thicker foods and reverses to a
thin setting for thinner foods, like bacon, green beans
and asparagus. Convenient handles help you open,
close and load the basket into the Ronco Ready Grill.
4. Removable Drip Tray – Located at the base of the
Ronco Ready Grill. This tray collects grease, fat,
crumbs, etc. The Drip Tray should always be in
position before using the Ronco Ready Grill. The
metal section of the tray and plastic base can be
separated for thorough cleaning.
5. Analog Timer – Turn the dial clockwise and the heating
elements will start heating up immediately. Set the
dial to your desired cooking time. The Ronco Ready
Grill will automatically turn off once the set time is up.
We suggest you preheat your Ronco Ready Grill for
3 minutes prior to inserting the Grill Basket for the
juiciest results.

The Ronco Ready Grill
Ready Grill Accessories
Mesh Basket & Kabob Rods
This unique all-purpose Mesh Basket has a
small square design for holding smaller food
items like popcorn shrimp, chicken nuggets,
french fries, etc.
The Mesh Basket comes with a set of 4
stainless steel Kabob Rods so that you can
make perfect shish-kabobs every time.
To prepare, skewer the meat, vegetables
or fruit on the Kabob Rods. Lay them in the
open basket with the handles sticking up and
out. When grilling, the Kabob Rod handles will
stick out of the top of the basket. Grill for 8-10
minutes depending on the type of meat used.
WARNING: KABOB ROD HANDLES ARE HOT!
Handles on the Kabob Rods get very hot
while grilling. Use the Mesh Basket handles
to remove the basket and kabobs from the
Ronco Ready Grill when done. Lay the basket
on a flat, heat-resistant surface and let cool
3-4 minutes. This will allow the kabobs to
rest so your meat is tender, juicy and an even
temperature throughout.
The Ronco Ready Grill
Steamer Basket
Want rice or steamed broccoli with your
New York strip steaks? This beautiful silicone
Steamer Basket is the perfect accessory for
the Ronco Ready Grill. Made from high-grade,
food-safe silicone, it is designed to steam fish
and vegetables directly on top of the Ronco
Ready Grill. Using the same amount of energy,
the Steamer Basket harnesses the heat
emitted from the grill.
Instructions: Always start by pouring 1 cup of
water under the enclosed silicone food tray.
The food tray holds food above the waterline
allowing your food to steam perfectly. Once
the food is in the Steamer Basket, close the
lids. Use the side handles to lift and place it on
the Ready Grill. Once done, remove and let
stand for 2-3 minutes.
Hint: Steam your side dishes while you are
preparing the food you will be grilling in the Ronco
Ready Grill. This will maximize your cook time.
IMPORTANT: The Steamer Basket should
never be used for baking and should never
be used without water. Cooking the Steamer
Basket dry (without water) will damage the
silicone, causing it to turn brittle and crack.

Cook Times & Temperatures
Cook Times & Temperatures Chart
The times and temperatures given are a guide for your reference and are based on foods at room
temperature (not cold foods). Cooking times given in recipes and cooking charts assume the grill
has been preheated for 3 minutes prior to cooking. Times will vary due to differences in meat shape,
size, and the amount of fat and bone. The most accurate method of determining doneness is a
thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion of the meat.

onion slices into individual pieces. Add olive oil and butter to a sauté pan. Heat over
medium-high heat to melt butter. Add sliced onions, black pepper, salt and sauté until
translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in sugar and reduce heat to medium. Cook onions
over medium heat for 20 minutes or until a nice deep caramel brown color, stirring
occasionally. Be careful not to burn onions.
2. While onions are cooking, prepare the burgers. In a large mixing bowl, combine the
bread crumbs and hot water. Mix water and bread crumbs together to make paste.
Add Worcestershire, black pepper, onion powder, dry mustard and ketchup to paste.
Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
3. With your hands, mix the seasoned paste into the ground chuck. Do not overwork
the meat. Press out 8 equal-sized patties, about ½-inch thick, onto cutting board or
wax paper. Make a small indentation in the middle of the burgers, but do not push a
hole in the patty. Pick 4 patties and fill the indentations each with 1 tablespoon of blue
cheese and 2 tablespoons of caramelized onions. Top the filled burgers with the other
4 patties. Pinch the sides together to seal the two patties together.
4. Place the 4 stuffed patties on the Grill Basket.
Preheat your Ronco Ready Grill and grill burgers
for 15-18 minutes.
5. When done, build your burger on a bun with
mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato to garnish.
Make a paste of bread crumbs and hot water
then add spices. Then work in the ground chuck.
These burgers are absolutely divine. If you
aren't a fan of blue cheese, substitute feta
or Gorgonzola crumbles. Serve with Sweet
Potato Fries with Spicy Aioli Sauce (page 185).
Make 8 patties and fill the middle of 4 with
blue cheese and caramelized onions.
Top with the other 4 patties and pinch
edges to make a seal all the way around.
