The grill pan must not be located in the shelf runners.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is withdrawn.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.
The grill pan is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thicknesses. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ‘high’ position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
The grill door must be left open when grilling. For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.
Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.
