The grill pan grid 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.
