Tips**

GRILLING TIPS

Meats
Recommended cuts:

• Beef – Rump Steaks, Scotch Fillet, Eye Fillet, Burger Patties
• Lamb – Leg steaks, backstrap, lamb loin, lamb cutlets, diced lamb
• Pork – Butterfly steaks, pork chops, pork cutlets
• Chicken – Breast, thigh fillet, chicken mince for patties.
• It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks.
• Tougher cuts such as flat iron steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To tenderize these cuts, marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.
• If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab the meat with paper towels before placing on the grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scorch on the cooking plate.
• Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices, toughening the meat.
• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher, dry steak. Use silicon tongs instead.
• Do not over cook meat. Some meats are better served pink and juicy.
• Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
• When removing fish pieces from the grill, use a flat heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

JUDGING DONENESS

There is an art to determining when your steak, lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to the correct degree of doneness ­ rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done ­ but it is easily mastered with these handy hints and tips.

NOTE
If using a probe, the recommended internal temperatures should be as follows:

Rare
Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until steak feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a rare steak as 55­60°C.

Medium rare
Cook on one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on the other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium rare steak as 6065°C.

Medium
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook on second side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as 65­70°C.

Medium well
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium well steak as 70­75°C.

Well done
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook on second side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels very firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well done steak as 75°C.

NOTE
Steaks do not need turning if cooking in the contact position. Turn steaks once only when grilling in open flat BBQ mode.

PANINI SANDWICHES

For best cooking results when toasting paninis:

• Always place paninis on the center of the bottom plate.
• Toasting should take approximately 5­8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of preference and the type of bread and fillings used.

Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread (white, whole meal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain etc), as well as artisan breads (Focaccia, flat bread, baguettes, bread rolls, etc). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.

Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may release excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

Toasting bread
The flat plate makes the grill ideal for toasting plain breads and flat bread, without any fillings or spreads. Try toasting flat bread for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

Fat free snacks
Due to the non-stick flat plate, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure the grill is turned OFF by pressing the POWER button. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning. Always clean the outer body, drip tray and cooking plates after each use to prevent a build-up of ingredients.

NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads on any of the interior or exterior surfaces of the grill. These will scratch the surfaces and damage the non-stick coating on the cooking plates.

WARNING
Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

CLEANING THE OUTER BODY

Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the grill surface, before cleaning. Rinse. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

After each use, slide out the drip tray and discard contents. Wash the tray in warm soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure to re-insert the drip tray into the grill after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

NOTE
The drip tray can also be washed in a dishwasher.

WARNING
Extreme caution must be used when handling the drip tray containing hot fats and juices.

CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES

1. Wipe the cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.

2. Alternatively, release and remove the cooking plates:
   a) Always ensure the grill is completely cool.
   b) Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90 degree position.
   c) Use the PLATE RELEASE on the front, right side of the top plate to remove the top cooking plate, and the PLATE RELEASE on the right side of the control panel to remove the bottom cooking plate.
   d) Once released, gently slide the plates off the grill.

3. Place the cooking plates in the dishwasher (top shelf only).

4. Alternatively, wash the cooking plates in hot soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the plate, before cleaning. Remove stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.

5. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure the cooking plates are correctly re-inserted and securely locked back into position after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads to clean the cooking surface of the plates. These will damage the non-stick coating on the cooking plates. STORAGE · Ensure the grill is turned OFF by turning
the temperature dial to the OFF position. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet. · Allow the grill, cooking plates and drip tray to cool completely. · Ensure the grill, cooking plates and drip tray are clean and dry. · Ensure the drip tray is correctly re-inserted into the grill. · Ensure the cooking plates are correctly re-inserted and securely locked into position. · Ensure the cooking plates are locked together by sliding the adjustable height control clip to the LOCK position. · Wrap the power cord in the cord storage located on the underside of grill. · Store on a flat, dry, level surface.
