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 (Top and Main oven)

In order to become familiar with the performance of the

dual grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling.

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 position 2 with the

grid in the ‘high’ position.

When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed

centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill

element.

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.
