HINTS AND TIPS
• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the
food out of the fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the
food close to the element for faster cooking and
further away for more gentle cooking.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them
moist during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.
• When using the centre section grill, ensure food is
placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath
the grill element.
• Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to
seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting
and the shelf position as necessary during
cooking.
• The food should be turned over during cooking as
required
