USES OF THERMAL GRILLING

Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an
alternative method of cooking food items
normally associated with conventional grilling.

Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking
smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with
the oven door closed. The need to check and
turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast
and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the
foods you would normally cook under a
conventional grill.

COOKING TIMES

Cooking is more gentle, therefore food
generally takes a little longer to cook when
thermal grilling compared with conventional
grilling. One of the advantages is that larger
quantities can be cooked at the same time.

A general guide to cooking times is given on
page 39 but these times may vary slightly
depending on the thickness and quantity of
food being cooked.

HOW TO THERMAL GRILL

1. Push out and turn the Selector to Thermal

Grill.

2. Push out and turn the main oven temperature

control to the required setting. (A temperature
of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for
thermal grilling).

3. Remove the handle from the grill pan and

close the oven door.

THERMAL GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN

Always thermal grill with the oven door
closed and with the grill pan handle
removed.
