Tips and notes

• For the initial use the grill plate, grease it with some oil. There is no more grease required subsequently.
• Make sure the food does not get in contact with the heating element as otherwise the food might burn.
• Only season cheese after the melting process as spices burn at high heat and develop unpleasant
smoke as well as an unpleasant taste.
• If possible, take the grill food out of the fridge ½ hour before you start to grill. Then it will roast
thoroughly more quickly and you avoid that thicker meat stays cold inside.
• Oil lean meat slightly before grilling. You will achieve best results with small and tender meat cuts. Do
not pierce the meat when turning it, so that no juice is lost.
• For achieving a nice browning, sear the meat shortly. The meat is well done when the juice coming out
is clear.
• Spices and marinades might generate smoke during grilling. To avoid this, just use non-seasoned / non-
marinated meat and offer seasoning mixtures and barbecue sauces when served.
• Spice the meat before, but salt it after grilling. This will keep the juice inside.
• Pierce sausages before grilling to prevent them from bursting.
• As side dishes, we recommend crispy bread, fresh salads and cooked potatoes.
