Hints For Best Grilling Results
Recommended cuts:

Beef

sirloin (New York), rump, rib eye (scotch fillet), fillet.

Lamb

Pork

butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs, leg steaks, fillets, diced pork.

• For best grilling results use meat cuts which are thick enough to touch the top and base plate
when the grill is closed.

• Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used.
To tenderise these cuts marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine
or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.

• It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks. If necessary,
remove the bones before cooking.

• Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

• If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess
marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the grill. Some marinades con-
tain high sugar levels which can scorch on the grill plate when cooked.

• Do not over cook meat, some meats are better served pink and juicy.

• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape,
resulting in a tougher, dry steak. Use tongs instead.

• When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat-resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

• Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
