Use the following chart as a guide only. Grilling can be started from cold but for best
results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on
full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food
warm.
There are 5 shelf positions available for grilling.
SHELF POSITION FOOD
HIGH position Toast, pikelets/crumpets, bacon, thin sausages, beefburgers,
tomato halves, steak (rare and medium), kippers, gammon,
kidneys and toasted snacks.
CENTRE position Toast, toasted snacks, thick sausages, beefburgers, fish fingers,
steak (well done) and gammon.
Also, for chops, with the heat turned down for part of the
cooking time.
LOW position Whole fish, fish fillets and fish steaks (on base of pan).
Also, for chicken portions, with the heat turned down for part
of the cooking time.
For au-gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska,
place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be
used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
