Hints for best results
Hints for grilling
• Tender cuts of meat such as
scotch fillet and sirloin are ideal for
grilling. Tougher cuts of meat such
as topside or blade steak will ten-
derise if marinated for a few hours
or overnight.
• Avoid overcooking meat as the
texture will toughen.
• Recommended cuts:
– Beef: Sirloin, Rump, Rib Eye, Fil-
let or T-Bone
– Lamb: Leg Steak, Fillet, Loin or
Cutlets
– Pork: Butterfly Steaks, Spare
Ribs, Leg Steaks or Fillets
• You can also grill diced meat on
skewers for Kebabs.
• The grill/press can grill meats over
2.5 cm thickness with ease.
• Ideal for cooking a variety of
meats, including beef, fish and
poultry. Take care when grilling
fish, use a plastic spatula.
• The sloping grilling surface allows
the fats and juices to drain into the
drip tray for healthy, fat free cook-
ing.
• When cutting meats, chicken, veg-
etables and/or seafood for kebabs,
cut evenly and uniform in size to
ensure even cooking.
• Never cross - contaminate foods:
Do not cut raw vegetables and raw
meats with the same knife or on
the same chopping board.
Try to use separate chopping
boards for meats, vegetables and
seafood. Do not cut cooked meats
on the same chopping board as
you prepared the raw meat unless
the board and knife have been
thoroughly sanitised and cleaned
in hot soapy water.
• The large non-stick flat (bottom)
cooking plate is ideal for cooking a
variety of foods such as eggs,
bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and
onions.
Hints for toasting snacks
• Breads with a high sugar content
(fruit loaf, etc.) will toast more
quickly than plain sandwich
breads.
• Any type of bread can be used,
white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat
or wholegrain.
• For sweet snacks, sprinkle castor
sugar over the buttered sides of
the bread.
• When using raisin bread, brioche
or other sweet breads which con-
tain a high sugar content, keep in
mind that they will brown much
more quickly than other breads.
• For a wholesome meal, large
pieces of focaccia bread may be
toasted with desired filling.
• Bread rolls may also be toasted
with desired filling.
• For a light snack savoury or sweet
bagels may be toasted with
desired filling.
• It is not necessary to butter the
outside of all breads as the grill/
press has non-stick cooking
plates. However, to encourage
even browning of bread or when
using stale bread, spreading with a
small amount of butter is recom-
mended.
Be careful when biting into sand-
1
wiches containing fillings such as
cheese, tomato or jam as they
retain heat and can burn if eaten
too quickly.
