Cooking Tips
• Place thicker pieces towards outside of food container, the thinner pieces
towards the centre and spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
• Start cooking with a shorter time setting, evaluate it after the time finishes and
extend the cooking time if needed. Over cooking can result in smoke and burnt
food.
• Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should be turned once during cooking.
• Depending on the food type, if applicable stir from the outside inwards to the
centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.
• Make sure meat is cooked thoroughly there should be no signs of pink in the
meat or in the meat juices.
