Cooking with your BBQ
Page 26
PREHEATING THE BARBECUE
Before starting the actual grilling, it is important to preheat the barbecue sufficiently. For this, follow
the step in this manual to ignite the grill, then close the cooking lid and preheat the grill. The
preheating duration at full power takes approx. 10-15 minutes, depending on external influences
such as e.g. temperature and wind. Then you can enjoy the benefits of the appliance. Enjoy the
advantages of the iron grating (it stores the heat perfectly and distributes it equally; impressive
branding of barbecued food).
DIRECT GRILLING
During direct grilling, the food is cooked directly over the gas burner/flame. First switch both burners
to full power and close the cooking lid to preheat the rack to the right temperature. Then position
your food on the rack and set the burner to the desired heat.
Due to the high temperatures generated at the rack, this barbecue is ideally suitable for searing meat
that is cooked within a short time - for instance steaks, sausages or lamb chops. The searing of the
meat surface causes roasting aromas to arise, which caramelise sugar on the surface while the food
inside cooks and stays juicy.
Direct grilling is of course also suitable for the preparation of chicken breast, fish fillet, seafood and
vegetables.
You can choose two kinds of direct grilling. During direct grilling, food is cooked on the barbecue at
higher temperatures and different temperatures with the lid open.
Direct grilling is also possible with the lid closed, thus reducing cooking time.
Thanks to the temperature indicator you can regulate the temperature accordingly.
During the cooking process, you should only open the lid to turn the food over or check whether it is
done.
BAKING/INDIRECT GRILLING
For indirect grilling your BBQ is simply converted into an oven.
Indirect grilling is suitable above all for larger pieces of meat that need to be cooked at
moderate temperature, e.g. roasts, ribs or whole poultry items.
During indirect grilling, the food is positioned above the switched off burner to make use of the
indirect heat. The other burner is heated, so that the food is evenly cooked at low/moderate heat
over a longer period of time underneath the lid.
The food is therefore kept away from the direct heat and is gently cooked or grilled.
Of course, other dishes can also be cooked using the baking function: A crispy pizza, or your first
home-made bread can be prepared using the BBQ. These are all cooked with the lid closed, just as in
a conventional oven, so that convection heat is generated.
You can increase this experience even further by using a pizza stone. For this, please preheat the
pizza stone for approx. 10 -15 minutes at about 180 -200 degrees before cooking your pizza or other
pastries.
COOKING
Also use your BBQ as a practical cooker and prepare your soups, sauces or side dishes freshly on the
camping site, balcony or patio. You can use the cooker in only a few steps. Take off the grill rack; put
the saucepans (max. diameter 20 cm) onto the saucepan racks, set the regulator buttons to full
power and off you go.
The burners are protected against wind due to the special design of the housing. However, you
should still make sure that the appliance is positioned in a place protected from the wind as far as
possible.
