U sefu l tip s
It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that the
grilling time for each item does not vary
too greatly .
To grill thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high
temperature, continue grilling at a low er
temperature setting or use a low er shelf
runner to allow the food to cook through
to the centre.
O ne w ay of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press dow n on it w ith a spoon.
– If there is very little resistance to the
pressure of the spoon, it w ill still be
red on the inside ("rare").
– If there is some resistance the inside
w ill be pink ("medium").
– If there is great resistance, it is
throughly cooked through ("w ell
done").
