THERMAL GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN

Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.

The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.

Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the Thermal grilling function.

COOKING TIMES

Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.
