Hints for best results for grilling
Meat
For best Grilling results use meat cuts which are
thick enough to touch the top and base plate when
the ikon Grill is closed.
Recommended Cuts
Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump,
Rib Eye (Scotch Fillet), Fillet,
Pork Butterfly loin Steaks, Spare Ribs,
Leg Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.
• Tougher cuts such as beef blade or topside steak
can be used. To tenderize these cuts marinate
them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade
with wine or vinegar to help break down the
connective tissue.
• It is recommended to cook items with thick bones
such as T-bone steaks.
• No not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out
the juices toughening the meat.
• If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats
from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off
and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the
ikon Grill. Some marinades contain high sugar
levels which can scortch on the Grill plate
when cooked.
• Do not over cook the meat, even pork is better
served pink and juicy.
• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while
cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in
a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.
• When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat
resistant plastic spatula to support the food.
• Part-boiling sausages can alleviate the need to
pierce sausages before cooking.
