Turbo Grill - Electrolux EK 5162 Instruction Book

Grilling
Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling, and
even the initial temperature of the meat all affect the
outcome and time of the grilling process. Fish, poultry,
veal and pork will not brown as much as the darker
meats such as beef and game. Vegetable oil and/or sea-
soning will improve the colour, but it also increases the
risk of surface burning.
For best results, avoid grilling food straight from
the refrigerator. Dry the surface of the meat, place it on
the oven shelf and season to taste. Place an oven dish,
ideally lined with foil, underneath the shelf to catch the
fat etc. which runs off. Pork chops, steaks and fish
should be grilled high up in the oven, while meats such
as thick spare ribs are better lower down.
Set the function control to
control to the temperature require (250ºC maximum).
Preheat the grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the
food, and turn it at least once. Grilling for too long
makes food dry, dull, and possibly burnt as well. The
oven door should be closed when grilling.

Turbo grill

The turbo grill cooks food faster and browns it more
evenly than the grill. The grill element browns the
food and the fan circulates the hot air. Perfect for 'tall'
dishes such as grilling ham to give it an even, all-round
colour.
Pizza/Quiche position
Perfect for cooking a pizza. Heat the oven to 225ºC
and place the pizza on the middle shelf. Use a baking
tray, not a roasting dish, to prevent the edges of the
pizza from burning.
Browning (swift start)
Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sand-
wiches, etc. You can also use this function to heat the
oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven
has reached that temperature, you can then select
whichever function is required. It takes about 8 min-
utes to reach 200ºC. However, do not use this method
of rapid heating when baking biscuits or meringues.
