Pre-heating
Always pre-heat the top heat/grill
element for approx. 5 minutes with the
door closed.
Do not set a microwave power level
during pre-heating.
Shelf levels
– Grill
Use shelf level 2 or 3 depending on
the thickness of the food.
– Fan Grill
Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending on
the thickness of the food.
Grilling duration
– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
take 6–8 minutes per side. It is best
to grill food of a similar thickness at
the same time so that the grilling
duration for each item does not vary
too greatly.
– Thicker pieces need about 7–
9 minutes.
– With rolled meat, allow approx.
10 minutes per cm diameter.
Testing to see if cooked
One way of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press down on it with a spoon:
Rare:
If there is very little
resistance to the pressure
of the spoon, it will still be
red on the inside.
Medium:
If there is some resistance,
the inside will be pink
Well-done: If there is great resistance,
it is cooked through.
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest time quoted.
Useful tip: If the surface of thicker cuts
of meat is cooked but the centre is still
raw, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting or use a lower shelf
level to allow the food to cook through
to the centre.
