Silvercrest SPM 2000 A16 manual Tips and Tricks

4.Select the desired level with the heating level se- lector 1. As soon as the selected heating level has been reached, the green control lamp “Rea- dy” 5 glows.

Note:

The green control lamp „Ready“ 5 also lights up when the heat level regulator 1 is at position „0“. As soon as you have set the heat level regulator 1 to the required position, the green control lamp “Ready” 5 will go off until the desired temperature has been attained.

Note:

The green control lamp “Ready” 5 can repeatedly switch itself off. This means that the programmed temperature has fallen, and the appliance is auto- matically heating itself up again!

5.Open the appliance lid and place the foodstuff to be toasted/grilled on the lower hotplate 9.

6.Close the appliance lid. Due to the positioning of the upper hotplate 9 being variable, even with thick items it is always parallel to the lower hot- plate 9. This ensures an optimal cooking result.

7.After a short period check the browning of the foodstuff. To do this, open the appliance lid.

Note:

Start with short cooking times and expand on them until you have discovered the ideal duration.

8.When you are satisfied with the browning, open the lid and remove the foodstuff.

Warning:

Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the foodstuff. They could damage the surfaces of the hotplates 9!

9.Turn the heat level regulator 1 to “0” and remove the plug from the power socket.

Warning:

When the appliance is not in use, always remove the plug from the power socket. It is not sufficient to simply place the heat level regulator 1 in the position “0”!

Tips and Tricks

•To make meat softer and to speed up grilling, it can be marinaded beforehand. Suitable as the basis for this are, for example, sour cream, red wine, vinegar, buttermilk, or the fresh juice from papayas or pineapples. Subject to taste, add herbs and spices. Do not add salt, salt extracts water from the meat and makes it hard. Place the meat in the marinade so that it is completely covered and then close the receptacle. It is best to let it stand overnight.

•The hotplates 9 are non-stick coated, thus extra fat is not needed. Should you nonetheless wish to use extra fat, take note that "light" margarines and various vegetable oils are not suitable for grilling. Amongst these are cold-pressed olive oil and thistle, flax, wheatgerm, maizecorn, sesame, walnut and hazelnut oils. Use these oils only for cold dishes. For grilling you can use for example butter, pork fat, margarine or ghee (butterfat).

•If you are not sure if the foodstuff is cooked in the middle, use a standard commercial meat thermometer.
