• Ensure that the Kettle King has been
preheated on SuperSear for 10 minutes
or until the light on the control probe has
switched off.
• Rub a small amount of oil onto both sides
of the steak. Place steak onto the hot grill
plate. The time taken to cook a steak will
depend on the thickness of the steak. A
thin steak will not take long at all.
• Only turn steaks once. Turning several
times or pressing down with tongs will only
dry the steak out.
• To cook a rare steak, cook for 2-3 minutes,
depending on thickness, turn once and
cook the other side for a further 2-3
minutes. The steak will be very soft to
touch.
• To cook a medium steak, cook for 4-6
minutes. The juices on the top of the steak
will start to pool. Turn steak over and cook
for a further 4-6 minutes. The steak will be
tender to touch but not too soft.
• To cook a well done steak, cook for 7-9
minutes, the juices will pool on the top of
the steak and the colour of the steak will
change up the sides of the steak the entire
way. Turn steak over once and cook until
the steak feel quite firm to touch.
• Remove steaks from Kettle King and rest,
covered, for a few minutes before serving.
Tips to cooking a great steak
• Ensure that the Kettle King has been
preheated on SuperSear for 10 minutes
or until the light on the control probe has
switched off.
• Lightly coat the fillets in a little oil and
season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• The time taken to cook a fish fillet will
depend greatly on the thickness of the
fillet.
• Most fish fillets are cooked until they are
just cooked through. Although fish such as
tuna or salmon can be cooked so that it is
still medium to rare on the inside.
• Place fillets onto the hot grill. Do not
attempt to move the fillets for at least a
few minutes; this will only break up the
fillet. Once the fish has formed a crust on
the bottom and the colour of the fillets has
started to change on the sides you can turn
it over.
• Using a non-stick spatula, carefully turn
the fish over. Only turn once. Cook the fish
until it is just cooked through, the fish will
still cook slightly once removed from the
grill.
• A good way to tell if your fish is cooked
through is to place a small, thin knife
into the thickest part of the fish. If the
knife feels warm to touch then the fish
is cooked. If it is cool then cook for a
little longer. The colour of the fillet will
have turned from being transparent to an
opaque colour.
