Pork

Butterfly loin Steaks, Spare Ribs,

 

Leg Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.

•Tougher cuts such as beef blade or topside steak can be used. To tenderize these cuts marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.

•It is recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks.

•No not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

•If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the ikon Grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scortch on the Grill plate

when cooked.

•Do not over cook the meat, even pork is better served pink and juicy.

•Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.

•When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

•Part-boiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
