Using the barbeque
The Galaxy Barbeque provides the extreme heat needed to create the caramelised, juicy
barbequed flavour achieved on an outdoor barbeque. The Galaxy Barbeque has a full range of
heat settings from LO to HI. Turn the control knob clockwise to HI to begin cooking. Reduce the
temperature when you are cooking by turning the control knob anti-clockwise. Preheat the grill
for at least 10 minutes so that the barbeque grid and lava rocks can reach a suitable cooking
temperature.
For initial browning of foods or searing of meat the temperature should be HI, and turned
down to a lower temperature during the cooking period. Larger pieces of meat may need to be
cooked at a lower temperature to allow the meat to cook through. During cooking, do not leave
the Barbeque while it is on. Turn to (Off) at the end of the cooking time.
Barbeque first use
Wash the barbeque grid in warm water. Use a scouring pad to remove any residue that might be
on the grid. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Place the supplied lava rocks in the rock tray, position the
rock tray on top of the drip pan and place under the element.
Cooking tips
To minimise flame flare-ups trim the fat off the edges of steak, chops and poultry.
Lean mince is best for hamburgers. Steaks are best cooked for a short time on a high heat to
sear the outside and leave the inside tender. For a more well done steak, sear on HI, then turn
down to cook through.
When adding marinades and sauces, reduce the heat and add near the end of cooking.
Use long handled utensils to turn your meats.
