USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative
method of cooking food items normally associated
with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the fan operate together,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to
check and turn food is reduced.
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in
the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door
closed. The need to check and turn food is reduced.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can
thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratin's can be heated through and
browned on the top using the thermal grilling
function.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally
takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling
compared with conventional grilling. One of the
advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at
the same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given on page 38
but these times may vary slightly depending on the
thickness and quantity of food being cooked.
HOW TO THERMAL GRILL
Always thermal grill with the oven door
closed and with the grill pan handle
removed.
1. Push out and turn the Selector to Thermal
Grill.
2. Push out and turn the main oven
temperature control to the required setting.
(A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C
is suitable for thermal grilling).
3. Remove the handle from the grill pan and
close the oven door.
