Kenwood HG230 Manual

Know Your Kenwood Health Grill
Your new Kenwood Health Grill will enable you to cook a range of
healthy and flavoursome foods including meat, fish, poultry and
vegetables. During cooking the fat drains away from the food and
collects in the drip tray thus reducing the fat content of the food.

Cooking Guide

vary according to individual preferences and the size/thickness of the
food being cooked. With use you will become familiar with the time and
setting needed to cook the food to your own requirements. Some
thicker items of food in particular pork and chicken, which should be
thoroughly cooked, may benefit from being pre-cooked in an oven or
microwave before being placed on the grill.

for cooking fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms whereas the grills are
suitable for cooking meat such as beefburgers, chops and steaks.
