OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Grill or Griddle?

The grill and griddle are independent. You may use each one on its own, or both of

them together. Each has its own temperature control and light.

Each temperature control is marked 0 (off) to 3 (max).

Each light will glow while its element heats up, turn off when it reaches the correct

temperature, then cycle on and off with the thermostat.

Preparation

Place the grill and griddle on a level, stable, heat resistant surface. Leave enough

space between the back of the appliance and wall to allow heat to flow without

damage to cabinets and walls.

Wipe the surface of the plates with cooking oil or a little butter and close the lid.

Don’t use low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.

Put the plug into the power socket, ensuring the power cord does not rest against the

grill or get trapped or pinched in the plates.

Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off grease and

fat.

Using the Griddle

Use the griddle for eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, or

other delicate foods that might be crushed or flattened

if used in the grill.

Turn the control to the setting you want, wait till the light

goes off, then start cooking.

10.

Lay the food on the cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.

11.

The griddle only cooks one side of the food at a time, so it’s slower than the grill, and

you’ll have to turn the food to cook it on both sides.

Using the Grill

12.

Turn the control to the setting you want, wait till the light goes off, then start cooking.

13.

Lay the food on the bottom cooking plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.

14.

Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.

15.

The cooking plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.

Check

16.

Check that the food is thoroughly cooked, make sure any juices run clear. If you are

in doubt then leave it for a little longer or use a temperature probe to be sure.

17.

Use only silicone or heat resistant plastic tongs or wooden utensils to remove food

from the grill.

Finished?

18.

Unplug the grill (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).

19.

Put on the oven glove, empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl then give it a wipe

with kitchen paper and put it under the front of the grill.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR GRILLING

•

Meat, fish and vegetables should be coated with a light spray of oil before being

placed on the grill; this will prevent the food from sticking to the grill plates.

•

It is not recommended to use low fat cooking spray on the grill plates; as the

additives that are present may build up on the surface of the cooking plates and

reduce their efficiency.

•

To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.

•

For best results, do not overload the grill.

•

For best results try to have food similar in size and thickness, this results in more

even cooking.

•

Use boneless meat, fish and poultry for more even cooking and browning.

•

Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will

typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.

•

For even more flavour, add dry seasonings or marinade foods before grilling.

•

For great griddle marks on your meat, make sure the temperature is on the

highest setting, allow the grill to heat up. Brush the meat with a layer of oil and

place on the grill. Press the handle down with light pressure and you will hear a

sear, turn the temperature down to continue cooking the food thoroughly.

How do you like your meat cooked?

Rare - The flesh to the meat will spring back when pressed with a finger, it will

generally feel quite spongy with lots of give.

Medium - The flesh will spring back less, but will still have some give to it.

Well done - The flesh will have no spring back at all, it will be very firm to the touch.

Chicken - Remember the juices from chicken should run completely clear when

pierced with a skewer or knife, if in doubt continue cooking for longer.

Fish - The flesh will turn from translucent to opaque when it is cooked, take

a look at the fish as it cooks very quickly and will dry out if

overcooked.

Marinating

Marinated food is more flavoursome and can actually tenderise meat and poultry.

There are two types of marinades:

Dry rubs – These normally consist of spices, herbs and seasonings. This is mixed

together and rubbed over the meat, this sticks really well to the meat, but should be

brushed with oil before grilling to add moistness to the food.

Wet marinade – This normally contains an acid based liquid, this can be in the form of

wine, vinegar, citrus juice or yogurt, this works by tenderising the meat making it more

succulent, it can be mixed with herbs, spices and oil for added flavouring.

Flavours that work well together

Chicken - Garlic, ginger, sage, lemon, lime, black pepper, thyme, jerk,

Cajun, Tandoori spices.

Beef - Beer, red wine, black pepper, mustard, horseradish, chilli.

Pork - Chinese 5 spice, honey, sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic,

mustard.

Lamb - Rosemary, garlic, lemon, oregano, red wine, cumin, coriander,

chilli.

Fish - Thai infused flavours, lime, coriander, cumin, lemon, teriyaki,

dill, honey.

Mixed Vegetables -

(Onion, peppers,

courgettes)

Rosemary, garlic, thyme, basil.

Recipe ideas

Garlic and Herbs:

Slice 2 cloves of garlic, pour over some olive oil and sprinkle with your favourite

herbs, thyme and rosemary are a good choice.

Chilli and Garlic:

Slice 2 cloves of garlic, pour over some olive oil and add a pinch of dried chilli flakes.

Herby flavour:

Add dried bay leaves, these will add a subtle flavour; they will start to heat and release

their fragrance.

Thai flavours:

Add coconut milk, sliced lemongrass and crushed kaffir lime leaves to impart a Thai

fragrance.

Oriental:

Add sliced ginger, rice wine and soy sauce.
