Using the Grill
Using the grill
The temperature of the grill is variable, and can be adjusted by turning the grill control to the required setting.
Grilling can also be adjusted by selecting a higher or lower shelf position, or by adjusting the trivet position, as detailed below;
■For toasting, and for grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf position.
■For thicker foods such as chops or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf position.
■The grill trivet inside the grill pan can be inverted to give a high or low position, or it may be removed altogether for items such as fish, which can be grilled on the grill pan base.
■Alternatively, foods can be grilled in a suitably heatproof dish.
■For toasting, use the highest trivet position.
■The lower trivet position is useful for grilling all types of meat or fish.
■With trivet removed the food can be placed directly on the base of the grill pan - eg; when cooking whole fish, or browning dishes such as cauliflower cheese.
Push the grill pan to the back of the shelf, to position it under the centre of the grill.
Never allow fat to build up in the grill pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
For best results, preheat the grill for 3 - 5 minutes before use.
When you have finished grilling, check that both of the control knobs are returned to the “off” position.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard, and the high reflectivity can damage the grill element.
