Types Of Cooking - DeLonghi ELECTRIC GRILL & BROILER Instruction Manual

- Never descale fish to be grilled.
- When you grill fish, use a large flat
spatula to turn it over.
- Dry defrosted or marinated food well
before placing on the plate.
- Use nylon non-stick cooking utensils only.
Metal utensils could damage the non-stick
surface of your plate.

TYPES OF COOKING

USING THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE PLATE
When cooking food using the grill or griddle
plates always preheat the grill for 5-10
minutes. The grill plate is ideal for cooking
hamburgers, hot dogs, polenta, vegetables,
beef steaks etc. If you also bought the griddle
(B1) besides vegetables you can also cook
pancakes, eggs and bacon. The plate can also
be used to cook meat and fish (as for grilling)
with the difference that in this case, contact
between the food and the plate will cause
smoke. The thermostat must always be in the
MAX. position. When cooking with the plate
alone, you are recommended to place water
in the broiler drip tray to avoid the appliance
from overheating.

USING
(SMOKELESS)
You do not need to preheat the grill when
boiling food.
This is ideal for finishing grilled meats and fish
to cook them all the way through while still
maintaining the grilled flavor of the food. You
can also melt cheese on top of your food or
keep food warm. According to the size of the
food, place the broil tray in the top or bottom
position (in most cases, it is best to use the top
guide). Depending on the type of food to be
cooked, the thermostat can be set on MED or
MAX (see cooking table below). Always
remember to put water in the broil drip tray
and keep the level between MIN and MAX.
Turn the food over halfway through the
cooking time.
IMPORTANT: the grill plate and broiler can
both be used at the same time for double the
cooking capacity (the thermostat must be in
the MAX. position).
The times and quantities indicated above are
indicative only.
