Grilling – General Notes
CONTROLLING THE GRILLING TEMPERATURE
In order to vary the grilling temperature, the shelf can be used in any one of the
oven shelf runner positions. In addition to this the grill pan grid is designed with legs
of unequal length, to further increase the variation of grilling temperature available.
As a guide to the correct position you may find the following guide useful:
•
For grilling steak, chops, sausage, fish etc use the first position from the top
(runner 1), with the grill pan grid sitting on its shortest legs.
•
For cooking very rare steak and to sear meat, use the same position as above
and preheat the grill.
•
To ensure that foods such as poultry, pork or veal are thoroughly cooked, grill
on the first position and turn the food regularly. To prevent the food sticking to
the grill pan grid, brush lightly with oil before use.
•
For browning foods such as lasagne, cauliflower cheese etc use the runner 1 or
2, dependant on depth of dish
The charts below serve as a guide for times and positioning for cooking with the
