BBQ Oven Cooking in your Kettle King.
BBQ Oven Cooking
Roasting your favourite dishes has never been so
easy!
BBQ Oven cooking allows you to roast meats
and vegetables efficiently, while sealing in the
flavoursome juices.
The result is oven style, tender meat, with
wholesome crisp vegetables.

Oven Basics section below.
BBQ Oven Basics
• For optimum results, the Kettle King should
always be pre-heated for 10 minutes with the
lid on.
• Keep the steam vent closed throughout
cooking. Open the steam vent during the last
15 minutes of cooking - this will allow any
excess steam to escape.
• Avoid removing the lid continually during the
cooking time. The heat loss will only lengthen
the cooking time.
• All meats should be fully thawed or at room
temperature before cooking.
• Baste the meat during the last
1
/
2
hour of
cooking. Excess basting will cause the meat to
burn or darken if left on throughout the
entire cooking time.
• Meats such as beef, pork, chicken and poultry
require approximately 1
1
/
2
-2 hours to cook,
depending on the weight and size. To avoid
the base of the meat burning, place on a
greased sheet of foil. This will also collect
juices, which are ideal to use for gravy.
• Avoid overcooking meats. The longer the
cooking time, the less tender the meat will
be.
• Use a meat thermometer to take the
guesswork out of the BBQ cooking. The
guides on the thermometer will indicate the
temperature of the food. The temperature
guide on the thermometer will tell you when
the meat is cooked to your desired choice. For
an accurate reading, always insert the
thermometer into the thickest part of the
meat.
