for roasting. You can now place your food inside
the Family Q. After cooking for 20 to 25 minutes,
turn the small burner control knob to the OFF
position and leave the large burner control knob
on START/HI (photograph D). Continue cooking
using these settings until the end of the cooking
time. IMPORTANT: Do not leave the small burner
control knob on for longer than 25 minutes
while roasting or baking.
your Family Q uses natural convection, allowing
you to cook at higher temperatures. This is
how your Family Q is able to produce such
wonderful, flavoursome roasts and that's why
it is essential to use a convection tray and trivet
when roasting with these settings. It is normal
for there to be a slight drop in temperature
when you open the lid and put your food in the
barbecue. Don't worry; the temperature will
rise again over the cooking time. Remember,
there is no need to turn the meat when roasting,
so try not to open the lid unnecessarily.

Preheating and baking
To preheat your Family Q for baking, open
the lid and place the convection tray and
trivet in position. Turn both control knobs
to START/HIGH position (Photograph A).
Unlike an indoor oven,
Immediately press the ignition button to light
the barbecue. Once alight, close the lid and
allow the barbecue to preheat for 10 minutes.
Once your Family Q is preheated, turn the
small burner control knob the OFF position,
leaving the large burner control knob on
START/HIGH (Photograph D). Your Family Q
is ready for baking.

Roasting tip
Getting the timing right so that your roast is
cooked to your liking can be difficult at times when
cooking outside. Wind, ambient temperature
and the temperature of the meat when you start
cooking all influence the amount of time a roast
needs to be cooked.
One of the best ways to make sure you get your
roast cooked just the way you like it is to use a meat
thermometer. With a standard meat thermometer
you can read the internal temperature of the
meat, so you can tell when it's cooked to your
liking. An internal meat temperature cooking
chart is included in the 'Temperature Guide' at the
end of this booklet.
Cooking times
In this cooking guide, each recipe has the
estimated cooking time included. In addition,
pages 27 to 29 are a general guide to help
you with cooking times for other cuts and
thicknesses of meat.
Barbecuing and roasting times listed in this
guide are approximate. You may have to allow
more time or use more heat on cold or windy
days.
Try using a timer; you'll find it really handy.
It'll give you a reminder when your barbecue is
preheated, when your meat needs turning, and
when the meat is likely to be cooked.
