Tips and tricks

▯ Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive heat
radiation will seal the sur face of the grilled food and
juice cannot leak.
▯ To avoid drying out of the sur face and to improve the
taste, lightly brush grilled food with heat-- resistant oil
(e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do not use too much oil
as otherwise the oil may flare up or smoke heavily.
▯ Always grill meat unsalted. Otherwise, meat juice and
soluble nutrients might leak and be lost.
▯ Place the food directly on the cast grill. Do not use
aluminium foil or grilling trays.
▯ Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be removed
easily from the grill. If meat sticks to the grill, the fibres
are destroyed and juice leaks out.
▯ Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose its
juice.
▯ Avoid pickled foods such as boiled ham and smoked
pork etc. otherwise a substance may be produced that is
harmful to health.
▯ Notch cutlets several times on the bone and in the fat
layer so they do not curve during grilling.
▯ Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until after
grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice and aroma.
▯ Poultry will become crispy brown if you coat it with
butter, salty water or orange juice towards the end of the
grilling time.
▯ Season fruit to taste after grilling with honey, maple
syrup or lemon juice.
▯ You can precook vegetables with a long cooking time
(for example corn on the cob).
▯ Place fish fillet on the grill with the skin down. Coat the
skin with oil in order to avoid it sticking to the grill.
▯ Serve grilled food hot. Grilled food will become tough if
you keep it warm.
