Grilling Tips:
There is an art to determining when your steak,
lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to the correct
degree of doneness - rare, medium rare,
medium, medium well or well done - but it is
easily mastered with these handy hints and tips.
Rare
Cook for a few minutes per side, depending
on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak
feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat
thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a rare steak as 55-60°C / 130-140°F.
Medium rare
Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on
top surface. Turn once only. Cook on the other
side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will
be cooked to medium rare when it feels soft
with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will
show the internal temperature of a medium rare
steak as 60-65°C / 140-150°F.
Medium
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on
top surface. Turn once only. Cook on second
side until moisture is visible. Steak will be
cooked to medium when it feels springy with
back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show
the internal temperature of a medium steak as
65-70°C / 150-160°F.
Medium well
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on
top surface. Turn and cook on second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly
and continue to cook until steak feels firm with
back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show
the internal temperature of a medium well steak
as 70-75°C/ 160-170°F.
Well done
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on
top surface. Turn and cook on second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly
and continue to cook until steak feels very firm
with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will
show the internal temperature of a well done
steak as 75°C / 170°F.
Hints for Best Results for Toasting
Sandwiches:
Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread
(white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain
etc), as well as artisan breads (Focaccia, Panini,
Turkish bread, baguettes, bread rolls etc). Raisin
bread, brioche or other sweet breads which
contain high sugar content will tend to brown
quicker.
Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when
heated. Be careful when biting into Panini’s and
sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese
and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can
burn if eaten too quickly.
Toasting Bread
The Health Grill is ideal for toasting plain breads
and Turkish bread, without any fillings or
spreads.
Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great
alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
Fat Free Snacks
Due to the non-stick cooking plates, it is not
necessary to use any butter or margarine on the
outside of your toasted snacks.
