Using the Griddle
8.
Use the griddle for eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, or
other delicate foods that might be crushed or flattened
if used in the grill.
9.
Turn the control to the setting you want, wait till the light
goes off, then start cooking.
10. Lay the food on the cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
11. The griddle only cooks one side of the food at a time, so it’s slower than the grill, and
you’ll have to turn the food to cook it on both sides.
Using the Grill
12. Turn the control to the setting you want, wait till the light goes off, then start cooking.
13. Lay the food on the bottom cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.
14. Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.
15. The cooking plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.
Check
16. Check that the food is thoroughly cooked, make sure any juices run clear. If you are
in doubt then leave it for a little longer or use a temperature probe to be sure.
17. Use only silicone or heat resistant plastic tongs or wooden utensils to remove food
from the grill.
Finished?
18. Unplug the grill (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).
19. Put on the oven glove, empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl then give it a wipe
with kitchen paper and put it under the front of the grill.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR GRILLING
• Meat, fish and vegetables should be coated with a light spray of oil before being
placed on the grill; this will prevent the food from sticking to the grill plates.
• It is not recommended to use low fat cooking spray on the grill plates; as the
additives that are present may build up on the surface of the cooking plates and
reduce their efficiency.
