USING YOUR BARBECUE
USING YOUR BARBECUE
After Use
It is a good idea to leave the barbecue on for about
10 minutes after you have finished cooking. This helps to
burn away any excess food residues and oil, and makes
cleaning easier.
1. Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
2. Allow the barbecue to cool.
3. Clean the drip tray and cooking surfaces. Clean any food
spills from the side burner, if one is installed.
4. Lower the hood and side burner lid.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over
the lit grill section. Some flaring may occur, so care must
be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood
regularly. The direct cooking method is recommended for
steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath
the food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners
below the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either
side are used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture.
With this method, heat circulates around the food, cooking
by convection. By trapping the vapour inside your “outdoor
oven”, the cooking vapour will fall back on the food on all
sides, not just from underneath. The food cooks more evenly,
and stays moist in the process. Indirect cooking is similar to
using a conventional oven and is recommended for rotisserie
cooking, roasts, poultry, casseroles, vegetables and whole
fish. When cooking a roast, it is a good idea to use a roast
holder and baking dish. Always use a baking dish with a
depth greater than 35mm. Shallower trays may fill quickly
and overflow, which may cause a fat fire.
Controlling the Burners
The control knob can now be turned to the desired heat
setting, Low, High or anywhere in between. The control
knob does not need to be pushed in while selecting the heat
setting.
Storing Your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all
controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If storing the
barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder
in a ventilated area outdoors. Gas cylinders must be stored
outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be stored in
a building, garage or any other enclosed area. The barbecue
should be covered when not in use eg. with a polyester or
vinyl barbecue cover.
