  • Page 8 L Y R I C 5 5 G X Cooking positions Most food should be cooked on the trivet in the grill pan. You can turn the trivet over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf.

  • Page 11: Helpful Hints

    L Y R I C 5 5 G X Helpful hints Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible.

  • Page 12: The Ovens

    L Y R I C 5 5 G X The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main Oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.
  • Page 13 L Y R I C 5 5 G X Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. Most top oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However, when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the top oven shelf on the base of the top oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food.
  • Page 14 L Y R I C 5 5 G X Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes.
