COOKING GUIDE (GENERAL)
Roasting Meat
1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature
between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to
wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to
prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier
to clean your oven.)
2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert.
Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the
oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for
about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when
the meat is carved. The table shows temperatures and
cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may
vary depending on the thickness or bone content of
the meat.

quarters of the cooking time.
The table shows temperatures and cooking times for

Grilling Guide
WARNING
WARNING
Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use.
Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.
Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed
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.
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:
Beef Tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush with oil
or melted butter, especially if the meat is
very lean.
Lamb Loin chops, short loin chops, chump
chops, and forequarter chops. Remove
skin or cut at intervals to stop curling.
Brush with oil or melted butter.
Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.
Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and
lemon juice.
Bacon Remove rind. Grill flat.
Guide to better grilling
Steak 15 – 20 minutes
Chops 20 – 30 minutes
Fish 8 – 10 minutes
Bacon 4 – 5 minutes
No definite times can be given for grilling because this
depends on your own tastes and the size of the food.
These times should only be used as a guide and remember
to turn the food over halfway through the cooking process.
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Preheat grill for at least 5 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
than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the
inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could
result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or
marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before
cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
and will let juices escape.
Fan Grill
The "Fan Grill" assists 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 grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is
still warm.
