foil with the shiny side facing upwards. Then set the temperature control to position 100 or
125°C.
- You can use the timer to remind you to turn the food from time to time. For example, after you
place steaks on the grilling plate, you can set the timer to 2 minutes. When the 2 minutes have
elapsed, you can turn over the steaks. You can then set the timer to 2 minutes again to grill
the other side of the steaks.
- Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
- Pieces of meat such as steaks or spare rib chops become more tender if marinated overnight.
- Turn the food from time to time with the spatula/tongs provided to ensure that it remains juicy
inside and does not dry out. Do not use any metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they damage
the non-stick coating of the grilling plate.
- Do not turn the grilled food too frequently. When the items are brown on both sides, grill them
at a lower temperature to ensure they do not dry out and are cooked more evenly.
- If you want to defrost frozen food, wrap the frozen food in aluminium foil and set the
temperature control to position 150 or 175°C. Turn the food from time to time. The defrosting
time depends on the weight of the food.
- When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal, first sear the meat at a high temperature
(250°C). If necessary, you can then set the temperature control one position lower and grill the
food until it is done.
- When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo or wooden skewers in water to prevent them
from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use metal skewers.
- Sausages tend to burst when they are being grilled. To prevent this, punch a few holes in them
with a fork.
- Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. Do not put salt on the
meat until after you have grilled it. This helps to keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make
sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too thick (approx. 1.5cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling breadcrumbed food.
