INDIRECT COOKING / ROASTING
You may find it useful to purchase a meat thermometer
to help take the guess work out of cooking.
Meats such as beef, lamb, veal and pork should be
about 70˚C/160˚F when medium. Chicken and turkey
should be 85–90˚C/185–195˚F.
Most importantly, do not allow your barbecue to
overheat. Your hood is designed to keep the heat in,
and also requires constant monitoring.
Do not use more than 2 burners on high at any one
time. As a guide, for a 4 burner barbecue in moderate
weather:
Two burners on low produces 150°C/300°F
Two burners on medium produces 195°C/385°F
Two burners on high produces 240°C/460°F
During cold or windy conditions, more heat is required.
Finally, resist the temptation to keep opening the hood
while cooking. This will help to maintain a constant
temperature, and minimise cooking time.
Position the grill plate
To achieve the best heat circulation around the food, it is best
to remove the hotplate from the barbecue and position just a
single grill plate in the centre. This will give unrestricted heat
circulation from the 2 outside burners.
Preheating your Barbecue
Like an oven, preheating your barbecue before cooking
produces better results. Because your hood retains heat
so efficiently, preheating your barbecue is quicker with the
hood down.
Turn the outside two burners to high. Close the hood, and
allow to preheat for about 8 minutes. Then reduce the burner
settings to achieve and maintain the required temperature,
by following these guidelines.
Maintain the right cooking temperature
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not exceed the temperature warning on the temperature
gauge. Operating the barbecue above this temperature may
cause damage to the appliance. Your hood is designed to
keep the heat in, so requires constant monitoring.
These two charts tell you how hot and how long to cook
various types of meat, and the approximate burner settings
to help you achieve these results.
