Tips
The ribbed section of the grilling plate is ideal for
preparing meat and poultry.
The flat section of the grilling plate is ideal for
preparing fish, eggs, ham, mushrooms,
tomatoes, onions, etc. It is also handy for
keeping food hot.
You can also use the table grill as a
thermostatically controlled hotplate that
automatically keeps your dishes at the required
temperature. Cover the ribbed section of the
plate with aluminium foil with the shiny side
facing upwards. Then set the temperature
control to position LO.
Tender pieces of meat are best suited for grilling.
Pieces of meat such as steaks or spare rib
chops become more tender if marinated
overnight.
Turn the food from time to ensure that it remains
juicy inside and does not dry out. Do not use any
metal tools like forks or grill tongs as they
damage the non-stick coating of the grilling plate.
Do not turn the grilled food too frequently. When
the items are brown on both sides, grill them
at a lower temperature to ensure they do not dry
out and are cooked more evenly.
If you want to defrost frozen food, wrap the
frozen food in aluminium foil and set the
temperature control to position MI. Turn the food
from time to time. The defrosting time
depends on the weight of the food.
When you prepare satay, chicken, pork or veal,
first sear the meat at a high temperature
(HI). If necessary, you can then set the
temperature control one position lower and grill
the food until it is done.
When you make satay or kebab, soak bamboo
or wooden skewers in water to prevent them
from getting scorched during grilling. Do not use
metal skewers.
Sausages tend to burst when they are being
grilled. To prevent this, punch a few holes in
them with a fork.
Fresh meat gives better grilling results than
frozen or defrosted meat. Do not put salt on the
meat until after you have grilled it. This helps to
keep the meat juicy. For the best result, make
sure the pieces of meat you prepare are not too
thick (approx. 1.5cm).
This table grill is not suitable for grilling
breadcrumbed food.
