What is Grilling?
• The grill directs heat from the electric element in the grill
compartment onto the food (see diagram opposite).
• 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.

Using the Grill

1. Choose only good cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick, it will dry out while grilling. If the
cut is more than 40mm thick, it may burn on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside.
2. Bring the food to room temperature before you grill it. Food straight from the regrigerator will steam under
the grill.
3. Check these cooking times for each side. Remember these are just a guide and the time taken to cook food
will depend on the size of the food and how much you like it cooked.
4. Remove the full width grill dish and grill insert.
5. Preheat the grill for 3 – 5 minutes.
6. Set the height of the grill insert.
• 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.
7. Brush the grill insert with oil to stop the food from sticking.
8. Put food on grill insert and put under the grill.
9. Baste the food with oil, butter or marinade, while it is cooking.
10.Use tongs to turn the food as a fork will let juices escape.
