Guide to better grilling

Steak 15–20minutes

Chops 20–30minutes

Fish 8–10minutes

Bacon4–5minutes

Nodefinitetimescanbegivenforgrillingbecausethis

depends on your own tastes and the size of the food.

These times should only be used as a guide and remember

to turn the food over half way through the cooking process.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Remove oven/grill dish and smokeless grill insert and

preheatgrillforabout5minutes.

2.Chooseonlyprimecutsofmeatorfish.Ifthecutisless

than5mmthickitwilldryout.Ifthecutismorethan

40mmthick,theoutsidemayburnwhilsttheinside

remains raw.

3.Donotplacealuminiumfoilunderthefoodasthis

prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could

result in a fire.

4.Bastethefoodduringcookingwithbutter,oliveoil

or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated

before cooking.

5.Usetongstoturnfoodasaforkpiercesthesurfaceand

will let juices escape.

Fan Grill (Multifunction models only)

If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist

the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around

thefood.Therecommendedtemperaturesettingis180°C

for all fan grilling functions.

1. Place the oven/grill dish on the bottom rack.

2.Placemeat/poultryonanovenshelfabovetheoven/

grill dish.

3.Wipeoffanyoilorfatwhichspatterswhiletheoven

is still warm.

There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked

at the same time which means that the food is succulent.
