Grilling tips

Preparing food for grilling

Rinse briefly under running cold water, pat dry and season with pepper and herbs. Do not season meat with salt before grilling as this draws the juices out.

Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary. Do not use other types of fat as they can burn and cause smoke.

Clean fish in the normal way. To enhance the flavour, add a little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish.

Grilling

￿Assemble the rack or anti-splash insert (if you have one) on the universal tray as illustrated.

￿Place the food on the rack.

￿Select the required function and set the temperature.

￿Pre-heat the grill for approx.

5 minutes with the door shut.

￿Place the food under the grill and shut the door.

￿Turn food half way through cooking.

Useful tips

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.

To grill thicker pieces of food more gradually after an initial high temperature, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf runner to allow the food to cook through to the centre.

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

If there is very little resistance to the pressure of the spoon, it will still be red on the inside ("rare").

If there is some resistance the inside will be pink ("medium").

If there is great resistance, it is throughly cooked through ("well done").
