The “Beef Grill” program is designed for
2 cm-thick beef steaks to get a juicy grill
performance.
1. To get the best results on both sides of the
steak, quickly pull out the oven rack and flip

happens 60 seconds after the program starts.
The process helps ensure an even grill on both
sides.
The flipping process needs to be done quickly

Cast Iron Grill Plate.
IMPORTANT: If a lot of smoke is produced, the
food would have a burnt, acrid flavour.
- The grill plate must be cleaned to make
sure no food/oil is left from the last usage.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of smoke and a
burnt smell.
- Use oils with a high smoke point—such as
canola oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil, or
grapeseed oil—instead of olive oil.

medium (50% cooked). Reduce 30 seconds for
medium rare (30% cooked). Add 30 seconds
for medium well (70% cooked). Add 60
seconds for well done (100% cooked).

needed vary from food to food. Use the dial to

2g salt
113g warm water (3/4 cup)
4g Olive Oil (1 tsp)
Dough Method;
1. Add flour, yeast and salt in a bowl then stir
to combine. Pour water and olive oil into the
bowl, stir until dough forms. Note – if using
active dry yeast, follow instructions on packet
to activate.
2. Flour a bench, then turn out the dough. Knead
the dough until it is smooth and has some
stretch to it. If dough becomes sticky, add
more flour.
