GRILLING GUIDE

Grilling hints

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry
and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the
natural juices.
NOTE: Below is a table indicating the door position whilst
grilling for each of the product types.

even without the grill being used. As it may be a hot
surface, it is not recommended to touch the grill tray
frame directly.
OPERATION OPERATION
Guide to better grilling
TIPS & INFORMATION IMPORTANT
Definite times can not be given for grilling as it is
dependant on the size of the food and your own tastes.
These times should only be used as a rough guide and
remember to turn the food over halfway through the
cooking process (except with fan grill).
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Remove oven/grill dish and grill insert and preheat
grill for about 3 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is
less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more
DOOR POSITION than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the
DURING GRILLING inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which
Door FULLY open
could result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil
or marinade.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
allowing juices to escape.
MEAT TIME
Steak 15 - 20 minutes
Chops 20 - 30 minutes
Fish 8 - 10 minutes
Bacon 4 - 5 minutes
Fan grill (multifunction grill in oven models only)
If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist
the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around
the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C
for all fan grilling functions.
1. Place the oven/grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the oven/
grill dish.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven
is still warm.
There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are
cooked at the same time.
