Tips for grilling
Notes
‒ All the values given are guidelines and can vary
depending on the properties of your food.
‒ Rinse meat in cold water and dab it dry with
kitchen towel. Do not add salt to the meat until it
has been grilled.
‒ Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking
compartment door closed and do not preheat.
‒ Place the wire rack on the glass tray so that this
catches the meat juices.
‒ Use grill tongs to turn the pieces of food you are
grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the
juices will run out and it will become dry.
‒ Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than
lighter-coloured meat such as veal or pork. When
grilling light-coloured meat or fish fillets, these
often only brown slightly on the surface, although
they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
Combined grill and microwave
Notes
‒ Use the wire rack to place the cookware on.
‒ Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the
cooking compartment cleaner.
‒ Use large shallow cookware for bakes and
gratins. Food takes longer to cook in narrow,
deep containers and browns more on top.
‒ Check that your cookware fits in the cooking
compartment. It should not be too big.
‒ Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes
before carving it. This allows the meat juices to be
distributed evenly so that they do not run out
when the meat is carved.
‒ Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the
appliance for a further 5 minutes after the
appliance has been switched off.
‒ Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the
food after the shorter time specified.
