8.10 Grilling Vegetables
The grilling of all vegetables may be performed in a quick and easy grease-free
manner. You may cook to whatever doneness is desired within a matter of seconds,
obtain a searing action to preserve moisture and achieve branding or grill marks for a
desirable appearance. All with a single method of contact cooking.
Grilling Vegetables for Sandwiches
Grilled vegetables may be desired for certain sandwich recipes and/or to be served as
a side to a sandwich or entree. Depending upon the heat setting of the grill, thickness,
nature of the vegetable and the doneness desired will determine grill time. These
benchmarks will aid you in troubleshooting for your individual needs:
½ inch eggplant, medium doneness 45 seconds
Asparagus 45 seconds
Red or yellow sliced onions 30 seconds
Yellow, red, green peppers 45 seconds
Yellow squash, zucchini 45 seconds
Grilling Vegetables for Side Dishes
Grilling vegetables for side dishes (to go along with a panini), salads or even as a
meal is a great way to offer healthy, low-fat, grease-free menu items to your
customers.
Grilled vegetables for side dishes is not only a healthy offering but an inexpensive
way to offer greater plate coverage. They cost far less than chips or pre-made salads
and can be a great way to merchandise your menu to obtain a higher ticket average
and add color and flair to food. In this way you may be better able to distinguish your
establishment from the competition.
8.11 Grilling Meats
The grilling of meats can be done in a great and grease-free way on the Pane Bella.
*** Health codes may require ventilation or hood systems for meats.
•
Double-sided grilling (DSG) can be achieved effectively because the contact
cooking method that the Pane Bella creates is an instant searing of the product to
retain product moisture, brand or grill marks and quick cooking from top and
bottom at the same time.
