The Galaxy Barbeque provides the extreme heat needed to create the caramelised, juicy barbequed flavour achieved on an outdoor barbeque. The Galaxy Barbeque has a full range of heat settings from LO to HI. Turn the control knob clockwise to HI to begin cooking. Reduce the temperature when you are cooking by turning the control knob anti-clockwise. Preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes so that the barbeque grid and lava rocks can reach a suitable cooking temperature.

For initial browning of foods or searing of meat the temperature should be HI, and turned down to a lower temperature during the cooking period. Larger pieces of meat may need to be cooked at a lower temperature to allow the meat to cook through. During cooking, do not leave the Barbeque while it is on. Turn to (Off) at the end of the cooking time.

Barbeque first use

Wash the barbeque grid in warm water. Use a scouring pad to remove any residue that might be on the grid. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Place the supplied lava rocks in the rock tray, position the rock tray on top of the drip pan and place under the element.

Cooking tips

To minimise flame flare-ups trim the fat off the edges of steak, chops and poultry.

Lean mince is best for hamburgers. Steaks are best cooked for a short time on a high heat to sear the outside and leave the inside tender. For a more well done steak, sear on HI, then turn down to cook through.

When adding marinades and sauces, reduce the heat and add near the end of cooking. Use long handled utensils to turn your meats.
