Tips and tricks
▯
Always preheat the grill. The intense heat helps a
crust form quickly, preventing meat juice from
escaping.
▯
Prior to grilling, you can coat the food with heat-
resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) or marinade it. This
improves the taste. Make sure not to use too
much oil / marinade, since otherwise it may
inflame and generate thick smoke.
▯
Don't salt meat prior to grilling. Otherwise soluble
nutrients and meat juice may be lost.
▯
Lay the food on the grill. Don't use aluminum foil
or grill trays.
▯
Only turn the meat once it can be easily removed
from the grill. If the meat sticks to the grill, this
destroys fibers and causes meat juice to escape.
▯
Don't pierce the meat while grilling, since
otherwise meat juice can come out.
▯
Cured meat such as ham or smoked pork chops
are not suitable for grilling. Bonds may form that
are harmful to one's health.
▯
Make several cuts along the bone and in the fat
layer of cutlets so that they don't curve while
grilling.
▯
Try to remove layers of fat after rather than prior
to grilling, because otherwise the meat loses
juice and flavor.
▯
For especially crispy and brown poultry, coat it
with butter, salt water or orange juice around
when you're almost done grilling.
▯
After grilling, fruit can be seasoned to taste with
honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
▯
Vegetables with longer cooking times (e.g. corn
on the cob) can be precooked prior to grilling.
▯
First grill fish fillet on the skin side. Coat skin with
oil so that the it doesn't stick to the grill shelf.
▯
Serve the grilled food hot. Don't keep it warm or it
will become too tough.

Cleaning appliance
Clean the appliance after each use, once it has
cooled down. This prevents residue from burning on.
After being burnt on several times, residue is difficult
to eliminate.
Don't scratch off burnt-on residue. Instead, soak it in
water with dishwashing liquid.
Remove the grill shelf and pivot the heating element
upward. Take out the lava stone trough with the lava
stones.
