OUTDOOR CHEF CITY CHARCOAL 420 C Mode D'emploi page 15

TIpS AND TRICkS
• With indirect heat
•
Relatively large roasting joints or whole chickens: The EASY SLIDE funnel means there is no longer any need to turn over large pieces of
meat while grilling. The heat from the glowing charcoal rises along the insides of the barbecue kettle and is distributed evenly throughout the
kettle.
•
Place the food to be grilled on the preheated grilling rack above the closed part of the EASY SLIDE funnel and close the lid. Always leave a
space between the individual pieces of meat.
•
Closing the lid means the food to be grilled is evenly browned on all sides, while the juices remain in the joint.
•
To leave nothing to chance when cooking relatively large joints, we recommend using the OUTDOORCHEF GOURMET CHECK – the
digital meat thermometer for perfect results.
•
• With direct heat
•
Smaller cuts of meat such as steaks, chops and sausages: Position the food to be grilled on the preheated grilling rack above the open EASY
SLIDE, and grill briefly to seal with the lid open. Turn the EASY SLIDE so that the food to be grilled is then no longer above the glowing
charcoal, and finish cooking it with the lid closed.
•
To achieve optimum results with flash-grilled meat, we recommend using the 2-PIECE CAST-IRON GRIDDLE from OUTDOORCHEF.
•
Do not place the hot barbecue lid on the lawn. In models without a lid hinge or lid holder, use the hook on the inside of the lid in order to
hang it from the edge of the lower half of the barbecue.
•
Make sure there is always liquid in the drip pan.
• TIP: To protect meat against drying out, it is possible to add water to the juice tray, which then evaporates during grilling. Instead of water, it is
also possible to add fruit juices and aromatic woods such as vine wood or apple wood, etc. in order to impart a delicious flavour.
•
The position of the ventilation openings at the bottom can easily be seen because of an indicator on the ash tray. CAUTION: The ventilati-
on slide on the lid must always be left open during grilling, however (see also INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE CHARCOAL KETTLE
BARBECUE)
•
OUTDOORCHEF recommends closing the lid during grilling. Air circulation inside the barbecue reduces the grilling time by up to one third.
•
Always wear barbecue gloves when barbecuing and adjusting the ventilation openings. When it comes to turning the food to be grilled,
instead of using a fork use good quality and sufficiently long meat tongs so that there is no need to puncture the meat, and it stays juicy.
•
The right accessories make your OUTDOORCHEF even more enjoyable. Whether grilling, cooking or baking: give free rein to your creativity
and flair for experimentation.

CLEANINg AND MAINTENANCE
•
When you want to put out the charcoal after you have finished your barbecue, put the lid on and close all ventilation openings. Do not use
water.
•
Always remove all ash residues before your next barbecue.
•
Clean the racks and grates with a barbecue brush that has brass bristles (not steel bristles). Do not use sharp objects or aggressive cleaning
agents. Wash the drip pan in soapy water, or clean it using OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE-CLEANER.
•
We recommend the following so you will be able to enjoy your barbecue for as long as possible:
•
Once a year, apply wood oil to all wooden parts – this helps to prevent cracking.
•
Once your barbecue has cooled down fully, protect it against the effects of the weather using a suitable OUTDOORCHEF cover.
Remove the cover after rain in order to prevent condensation build-up. Covers can be purchased from your barbecue retailer.
USINg THE OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE-CLEANER
IMPORTANT: The barbecue is not allowed to be operating while the OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE-CLEANER is being used. Wear gloves
to protect your hands and, if possible, glasses to shield your eyes. Thoroughly spray the barbecue or accessories while they are still slightly
warm, and allow the product to work for 15–30 minutes. Spray dirty surfaces again, thoroughly rise with water and allow to dry.
