Cooking With The BeefEater Roasting
Hood cont.
If you are cooking a roast, it is always a good idea to use a
roast holder and baking dish. This will keep the meat away
from the direct heat source but allow the meat to cook by
convection. (This is essential in the case of the 2 burner
barbecue where the meat tray will be sitting over direct
heat). Note: Do not use a baking dish/tray with a depth
less than 35mm. Shallow trays will fill quickly and overflow,
which could cause a grease fire.
Note: Opening the Hood: The more the roasting hood is
opened to attend to cooking food the more heat will be lost,
lengthening the cooking time.
Do not use more than two burners on high at any one time.
This may cause damage to the barbecue and roasting hood.
The roasting hood can retain a great deal of heat and
therefore, constant monitoring is required. The barbecue
should be attended at all times.
There is sufficient heat generated by two burners, one
each end of the barbecue, to roast: lamb, pork, chicken,
turkey, etc. As a temperature guide, two burners on Low
will produce approximately 300°F (150°C) and two burners
on High will produce approximately 460°F (240°C). Windy
conditions and cold weather will also affect hot plate
temperature.
Temperature Warnings
Do not exceed the temperature warning on the temperature
gauge.
Operating the barbecue and roasting hood above
this temperature will discolour stainless steel
components and may cause damage to the
appliance. See the ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’
instructions for tips on how to clean stainless
steel.
Do not use more than two burners on high at any one time.
This may cause damage to the barbecue and roasting hood.
