5. GreenGrill Cooking Options
GreenGrill Cooking
Most of the cooking surfaces have our GreenGrill coating.
This ceramic coating is completely PFOA-free; it is made of organic materials and therefore contains no toxic substances.
GreenGrill guarantees healthier cooking!
PREPARATION & USE
• 'Seasoning': before using the cooking surface for the first time, you can season it to give the cooking surface a thin protective layer that prevents food
from sticking. It is not required but we do recommend it. It's very easy: lightly rub cooking oil on the surface and then place over medium heat
for 2 - 3 minutes. When it cools, wash the cooking surface with soapy water before use and grease it lightly with some oil (cooking oil of your
choice, e.g. sunflower oil).
It's ready to go!
• Note: GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than products with a regular (PTFE) non-stick coating. We therefore recommend using only 75% of the
power of what you are used to.
• Never leave the cooking surface on the heat source without oil. Apply a thin layer of oil with a kitchen paper towel or a brush before placing
the cooking surface on the heat source. Make sure you have oiled all parts, so with e.g. a BBQ grid include the raised edges as well.
• We recommend frying in sunflower oil or Rapeseed Oil because of the high burning point. Olive oil can have a relatively low burning point,
which can cause the ingredients to stick to the pan or burn. We therefore do not recommend using olive oil.
Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying. This will prevent sticking to the cooking surface.
• Always use silicone and/or wooden utensils so that the GreenGrill coating is not damaged. Never use metal utensils as this can damage the
coating.
CLEANING
• Let the cooking surface cool down before cleaning. Extreme temperature changes can cause deformation of the cooking surface.
• The GreenGrill coating is 'Easy Clean'. Warm soapy water with a soft sponge is sufficient for cleaning the cooking surfaces with GreenGrill
coating. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool.
• If the cooking surface has food particles remaining from a previous use they can adhere to the coating, which can lead to brown spots. In
these places, ingredients can stick to the cooking surface because the coating is no longer reached. Make sure that these spots are properly
removed before use.
• For stubborn stains or residues, you can try soaking overnight in hot soapy water making use of our convenient Soft Soak or use the 'vinegar
method' for the paella pan or chef pan: pour a layer of vinegar into the pan and heat the pan slightly. The
vinegar does not have to boil and should certainly not evaporate completely. Pour the vinegar out of the
pan, clean the pan with soapy water and the pan is as good as new.
Note: heating vinegar can give off an unpleasant smell.
• When using the Soft Soak, we recommend placing the cooking surface face down which allows for
maximum soaking and also uses less water.
• Dry with a soft cloth and you're done!

MAINTENANCE

• We recommend to add a little oil to the cooking surface after cleaning and spread it with kitchen paper. The oil seals the surface from the
outside air and moisture. It also ensures that the food does not burn into the surface.
• Place the cooking surface in a plastic bag before you put it into its storage bag so you are ensured the storage bag remains clean and oil free.
• The storage bag prevents damage to the GreenGrill coating and your product.
Cooking Options
• These are the available cooking options.
Grilling: This cooking option is ideal for fat-free grilling of chicken, sausages, chops, kebabs, fish or vegetables. For this type of cooking, use
the grill plate.
Caution: Please note that when cooking fatty meats some fat will splatter onto the unit which may cause flare-ups. Please use caution when
handling such meats. The cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the control knob to regulate the
degree of heat.
Frying: This option is ideal for stir-fries, fish, breakfast, pancakes, prawns, paella and vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the flat grill.
Please note that being a shallow pan, it is not suitable for deep-frying. The easy clean surface encourages the minimum use of fat for healthy
cooking.
Boiling: For this type of cooking, place the pot stand in its locator grooves ensuring that it is properly seated. Place a suitable pot (not less
than 6" diameter and not more than 12" diameter). One liter of water will boil in approximately 6 minutes depending on the conditions, size
of pot used, etc.
Note: When using small sized pots do not attempt to use pots with plastic handles as these can get extremely hot.
Paella: This cooking option is ideal for preparing paellas, risottos, pasta dishes, traditional breakfasts etc. The Paella Pan is made from a high
quality pressed aluminium which allows for excellent heat distribution and retention.
Coffee: This option is ideal for brewing a hot cup of coffee. Ideal for anytime, anywhere.
