Grilled meats or fish

Install the grill plates (depending on the model). Place the meat, poultry or fish on the plates.

Close the appliance and leave to cook according to the recipe and to your personal taste.

Cordon bleu grilled chicken

•2 chicken breasts • 2 slices of Swiss cheese • 1 tablespoon of olive oil • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard • half a sprig of dried thyme

Pre-heat the grill. Cut a slit in each of the chicken breasts. Fold the slices of cheese so that they are small enough to be placed into the cuts. Place the cheese in the slits. Mix the oil, mustard and thyme in a small bowl and brush both sides of the chicken breasts with this mixture. Grill the breasts for about 7 minutes or until they are cooked. Serves 2 portions.

Garlic shrimp kebab

•Half a pound of medium-sized peeled shrimps or prawns • 2 tablespoons of olive oil • 2 finely sliced cloves of garlic • half a teaspoon of ground chilli pepper or chilli powder • 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley • salt and pepper • 12 to 15 cherry tomatoes • 2 slices of lemon

Pre-heat the grill. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the shrimps or prawns, olive oil, garlic, chilli pepper, and parsley, then season with salt and pepper according to taste. Leave the mixture to stand for 20 minutes. Slide the shrimps or prawns onto a small bamboo skewer with 3 cherry tomatoes. Grill them for 5 minutes or according to taste. Serve with the slices of fresh lemon and toasted bread. Serves 2 portions.

Toasted Sandwich tips

•Only use butter or ordinary margarine when making toasted sandwiches. Low fat spreads or butter substitutes are unsuitable as they overheat at a lower temperature and form dark brown deposits. This causes the bread to stick to the cooking plates.

•For best results, use medium sliced bread with or without crusts. Remember to increase the cooking slightly for thick bread and to reduce slightly for thin bread.

•Unlike conventional sandwiches the bread is buttered on the outside.

•Brown or wholemeal bread can also be used but the cooking time may be slightly different.

•Take care not to add too much filling otherwise it will leak from the toasted sandwiches.

•Avoid using delicate salad fillings that wilt when cooked, such as lettuce and cucumber. However, tomatoes and onions give good results.
