GrILLING GUIDe
Guide to closed grilling
Closed grilling is a fast and efficient way to cook. This method will work only for certain food
items, that are thick enough to come into contact with both grill plates.
As the thickness of meat and other ingredients vary so will some of these cooking times.
NOTE: It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks because they prevent
the meat contacting the cooking plates.

Guide to open grilling
Open grilling is a gentler way of grilling more delicate foods. Open grilling also accommodates
foods which are not the right shape to fully come into contact with the upper grill plate.
Preheat the grill with the lid closed, then open the grill and place the food onto the bottom plate.
Turn food as it cooks with a heat proof plastic food slice or heat proof plastic tongs. Do not use
metal utensils.
