The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight
adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the
meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts
or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 - 30 min. cooking time.

Hints and tips

Hints and tips when using
the grill

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in

the grill pan to allow maximum circulation
of air and to lift the food out of the fats and
juices.

• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position

to allow for different thicknesses of food.

• Position the food close to the element for

faster cooking and further away for gentler
cooking.

• Food should be thoroughly dried before

grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist during
cooking.

• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread, use the shelf in the

top position with the grid in the ‘high’
position.

• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few

minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.

• The food should be turned over during

cooking as required.

• When using the centre section grill, ensure

food is placed centrally on the grilling grid
directly beneath the grill element.
