Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the table of settings are only a
▯
guide; you may need more or less heat depending on
the type and state of the food.
Heat the appliance to the required temperature. The
▯
illuminated ring lights up white. The illuminated ring
dims from white to orange while the appliance is
heating up. An audible signal sounds when the set
temperature has been reached.
Always preheat the grill. The intense heat radiation
▯
enables a crust to form quickly and prevents meat
juice from escaping.
Before grilling, you can coat or marinate the food in
▯
heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). This improves the
flavor. Take care not to use too much oil/marinade,
otherwise this could cause flames to form or generate
lots of smoke.
Do not salt the meat before grilling. Otherwise soluble
▯
nutrients and meat juice may escape.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack.
▯
Do not use aluminum foil or grill trays.
Only turn the items on the grill over when they lift off
▯
the wire rack easily. If meat sticks to the grill, the
fibres are destroyed and meat juice escapes.
Do not pierce the meat while grilling it, otherwise
▯
meat juice may escape.
Cured meat such as ham and smoked pork chops are
▯
not suitable for grilling. This can produce a compound
that is harmful to health.
Score chops on the bones and in fatty layers several
▯
times so that they do not curl up.
Remove fatty layers after grilling rather than before,
▯
otherwise the meat loses juice and flavor.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if
▯
you baste it towards the end of the grilling time with
butter, salted water or orange juice.
Fruit can be seasoned to taste after grilling with
▯
honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
You can parboil vegetables that take a long time to
▯
cook (e.g. corn on the cob) before placing them on the
grill.
Grill fillets of fish on the skin side first. Coat the skin
▯
with oil to prevent it sticking to the wire rack.
Serve grilled food hot. If you keep it warm it will go
▯
tough.
