Grilling
98
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
If you grill with the door open, hot air
will escape from the oven instead of
being cooled by the cooling fan. The
control elements will get hot.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Tips for grilling
– Pre-heating is necessary when
grilling. For pre-heating, select a
function which
does not use
microwave power.
Pre-heat the top heat/grill element for
approx. 5 minutes with the door
closed.
– Trim the meat. Do not season the meat
with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out.
– Add a little oil to lean meat if
necessary. Do not use other types of
fat as they can easily burn and cause
smoke.
– Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, season with a
little salt. Fish can also be drizzled
with lemon juice.
– Grill on the rack.
– To grill, brush the rack with oil and
then place the food on the rack.
Notes on the cooking charts
You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
Take note of the temperature range, the
shelf levels and the durations. These
take the size of the meat and cooking
practices into account.
Check the food after the shortest
duration quoted.
Selecting the
temperature
Select the temperature for the
Fan
grill
and
MW + Fan grill
functions.
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart. If
higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but
will not be properly cooked through.
Selecting the grill level
Select between levels 1–3 for the
Grill
and
MW + Grill
functions.
If you are grilling thicker foods further
away from the grill element, select
Level 1
.
If you desire a lighter, golden finish,
on gratins for example, select
Level 2
.
If you are quickly grilling thinner foods
closer to the grill element, select
Level 3
.
