HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.
The grilling grid is reversible. Adjust the grid height and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the burner for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking as required. Do not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.
The grill door must be left open when grilling. For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.
You may wish to preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or browning food.
The grill compartment can be used to warm plates when the oven is on. Do not place plates to warm under the grill when it is lit as this may damage the plates.
Place food towards the centre of the grilling grid. If food is outside this area it may require rotating during cooking. Food such as tomatoes and mushrooms requiring gentle heat should be placed towards the edge of the grid.
Place foods such as Shepherd's pie and cauliflower cheese on the grill shelf to brown.
