USING THE GRILL
wHAT IS GRILLING?
• The grill directs heat from the electric element in the grill
compartment onto the food.
• This way of cooking traps the juices inside the food and
increases the flavour.
• Grilling is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops,
sausages, fish and other foods which cook quickly.

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry
and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:
Beef You can use tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush
with oil or melted butter, especially if the meat
is very lean.
Lamb You can use loin chops, shortloin chops,
chump chops, and forequarter chops.
Remove skin or cut at intervals to stop curling.
Brush with oil or melted butter.
Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.
Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and
lemon juice.
Bacon Remove rind. Grill flat.

GUIDE TO bETTER GRILLING

No definite times can be given for grilling because this
depends on your own taste and the size of the food. These
times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn
the food over half way through the cooking process.
Steak 15 - 20 minutes
Chops 20 - 30 minutes
Fish 8 -10 minutes
Bacon 4 - 5 minutes
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best
results. This will help to seal the natural juices.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less
than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than
40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside
remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could
result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil
or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated
before cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
and will let juices escape.
6. Set the height of the grill tray insert to the most
suitable height.
• The grill insert can be used on both sides to provide
two different grill heights
• Thinner pieces of food should be nearer the element
and thicker pieces should be 10mm away.
