Press Grill or Griddle: Hints for Best Results

Grilling Meats/Poultry/Fish
To ensure moist and delicious grilled meats, always allow meats to rest 10 to 20 minutes before cutting.
Use cuts of meat thick enough to touch the top and base plate when the 8-IN-1 Grill Station is closed.
Tougher cuts such as flank steak should be tenderized by marinating for few hours or overnight.
Wine or vinegar will help to break down the connective tissue before grilling.
Drain excess marinade and dry meat well before placing on the grill plate.
Avoid using marinades that contain high sugar levels that can burn on the grill plate when cooked.
To ensure a tender piece of grilled meat, do not salt meat before cooking.
Do not overcook meat.
To avoid tough and dry meats, never cut or pierce meats while cooking. Use scratch-proof tongs to add
or remove meat from grill plates.
Use griddle plates when cooking delicate pieces of fish. Use a heat-resistant fish spatula to remove fish
from the hot griddle. DO NOT OVERCOOK!

1. Install 2 reversible panini/omelet plates; panini cookside up.
2. Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 400ºF or 425°F.

4. Wearing oven mitts, carefully open the lid. Before first use, if desired, lightly oil the plates.

Use vegetable or olive oil instead.
5. When the blue READY light illuminates, carefully center 1 or 2 sandwiches on the lower plate.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the cooking plate.
6. Use the floating hinge when preparing Panini and other thick sandwiches. To set up the floating hinge,
follow detailed instructions previously described in the section titled "To Use as a Contact Grill."
(See Figures 7 and 8.)
7. Close the lid so that the upper plate lies evenly on the top of the food. Use the top handle to press
down on the sandwiches while grilling.

plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula.
WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the
panini plates.
