Getting The Most From Your Barbecue

Preheating Your Barbecue

Like an oven, preheating your barbecue before cooking produces better results. Because your hood retains heat so efficiently, preheating your barbecue is quicker with the hood down.

Turn the outside two burners to high. Close the hood, and allow to preheat for about 8 minutes, Then reduce the burner settings to achieve and maintain the required temperature, by following these guidelines.

Maintaining The Right Cooking Temperature

Do not exceed the temperature warning on the temperature gauge. Operating the barbecue above this temperature may cause damage to the appliance. Your hood is designed to keep the heat in, so requires constant monitoring.

These two charts tell you how hot and how long to cook various types of meat, and the approximate burner settings to help you achieve these results.

You may find it useful to purchase a meat thermometer to help take the guess work out of cooking.

Meats such as beef, lamb, veal and pork should be about 70ºC / 160ºF when medium. Chicken and Turkey should be 85-90ºC / 185-195ºF.

Do not use more than 2 burners on high at any one time. As a guide, for a 4 burner barbecue in moderate weather:

Two burners on low produces	150°C / 300°F
Two burners on medium produces	195°C / 385°F
Two burners on high produces	240°C / 460°F

During cold or windy conditions, more heat is required.

Finally, resist the temptation to keep opening the hood while cooking. This will help to maintain a constant temperature, and minimise cooking time.

Do not allow your barbecue to overheat, as this may damage some components.
