The grill

Cooking positions

There is only one position for the grill shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted from the top downwards.

Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.

General

The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.

When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using the main oven.

You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using the main oven.

Preheating

You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.

Positioning food on the grid

Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid.

Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid.

Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked.
