Cooking methods:
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over
the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur, so care must
be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood
regularly. The direct cooking method is recommended for
steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.
Indirect Cooking
This method of cooking applies only if you have a roasting
hood.
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath
the food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners
below the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either
side are used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture.
With this method, heat circulates around the food, cooking
by convection. By trapping the vapour inside your "outdoor
oven" , the cooking vapour will fall back on the food on all
sides, not just from underneath. The food cooks more evenly,
and stays moist in the process.
Indirect cooking is similar to using a conventional oven and
is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry,
casseroles, vegetables and whole fish.
When cooking a roast, it is a good idea to use a roast holder
and baking dish. Always use a baking dish with a depth
greater than 35mm. Shallower trays may fill quickly and
overflow, which may cause a fat fire.
