5 minutes with the door closed.
Do not set a microwave power level
during pre-heating.
Shelf levels
– Grill
, MW + Grill
:
Use shelf level 2 or 3 depending on
the height of the food.
– Fan grill
\, MW + Fan grill
:
Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending on
the height of the food.
Grilling duration
– Thin pieces of fish and meat usually
take 6–8 minutes per side.
It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the grilling duration for each item
does not vary too greatly.
– Thicker pieces need about 7–9
minutes per side
– With rolled meat, allow approx.
10 minutes per cm diameter.
Testing to see if cooked
One way of finding out how well a piece
of meat has been cooked is to press
down on it with a spoon:
Rare:
If the meat gives easily to
the pressure of the spoon,
it will still be red on the
inside.
Medium:
If there is some resistance,
the inside will be pink.
Well-done: If there is very little
resistance, it is cooked
through.
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest time quoted.
Tip:
If the surface of thicker cuts of
meat is cooked but the centre is not
cooked, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting or use a lower shelf
level to allow the food to cook through
to the centre.
