Tips to cooking a great steak

•Ensure that the Kettle King has been preheated on SuperSear for 10 minutes or until the light on the control probe has switched off.

•Rub a small amount of oil onto both sides of the steak. Place steak onto the hot grill plate. The time taken to cook a steak will depend on the thickness of the steak. A thin steak will not take long at all.

•Only turn steaks once. Turning several times or pressing down with tongs will only dry the steak out.

•To cook a rare steak, cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness, turn once and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes. The steak will be very soft to touch.

•To cook a medium steak, cook for 4-6 minutes. The juices on the top of the steak will start to pool. Turn steak over and cook for a further 4-6 minutes. The steak will be tender to touch but not too soft.

•To cook a well done steak, cook for 7-9 minutes, the juices will pool on the top of the steak and the colour of the steak will change up the sides of the steak the entire way. Turn steak over once and cook until the steak feel quite firm to touch.

•Remove steaks from Kettle King and rest, covered, for a few minutes before serving.

Tips to cooking great fish fillets

•Ensure that the Kettle King has been preheated on SuperSear for 10 minutes or until the light on the control probe has switched off.

•Lightly coat the fillets in a little oil and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

•The time taken to cook a fish fillet will depend greatly on the thickness of the fillet.

•Most fish fillets are cooked until they are just cooked through. Although fish such as tuna or salmon can be cooked so that it is still medium to rare on the inside.

•Place fillets onto the hot grill. Do not attempt to move the fillets for at least a few minutes; this will only break up the

fillet. Once the fish has formed a crust on the bottom and the colour of the fillets has started to change on the sides you can turn it over.

• Using a non-stick spatula, carefully turn the fish over. Only turn once. Cook the fish until it is just cooked through, the fish will still cook slightly once removed from the grill.

• A good way to tell if your fish is cooked through is to place a small, thin knife into the thickest part of the fish. If the knife feels warm to touch then the fish is cooked. If it is cool then cook for a little longer. The colour of the fillet will have turned from being transparent to an opaque colour.
