Grilling

Notes on the grilling chart

Temperature ￿

As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through.

Pre-heating

Always pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed.

Shelf levels ￿

Select the shelf level according to the thickness of the food.

–Thin cuts: Shelf level 3/4

–Thicker cuts: Shelf level 2/3

Grilling duration ￿

–Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take 6–8 minutes per side. Thicker pieces require more time for each side. It is best to grill food of a similar thickness at the same time so that the grilling time for each item does not vary too greatly.

–Turn the food halfway through cooking.

Testing to see if cooked

One way of finding out how well a piece of meat has been cooked is to press down on it with a spoon:

Rare:	If the meat gives easily to
	the pressure of the spoon,
	it will still be red on the
	inside.
Medium:	If there is some resistance,
	the inside will be pink.

Well-done: If there is very little resistance, it is cooked through.

Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest time quoted.

Tip

If the surface of thicker cuts of meat is cooked but the centre is still raw, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf level to allow the food to cook through to the centre.
