as possiblewhen puttingfoodon skewers.
• Somefoods are easierto inserton skewersif firstpiercedwitha toothpick.
• Preheatingthe element is not necessary. Turn element on after food has been
placed on accessory.
• HI is the recommended settingfor cooking most kebabs. Skewer cooking is best
when done quickly as long cooking times tend to dry out kebabs.
• Cookingtimeswillalsovaryaccordingtothetypesoffoodsbeingcooked. Thetime
range willbe from 30 to 60 minutes onthe HI setting. As an examplepre-ceoked
polish sausage with canned fruit will cook in 30 minutes, whereas beef and raw
vegetables could take 60 minutes.
• Voltage differences may make cooking times slightlydifferent at vadous times.
• Cut meat into one-inch cubes,
• Meat usually should be marinated to provide extra tenderness and flavor. Brush
marinade over the kebabs as they cook.
• Forrare meat,cubes should be placed closetogether; for well-done, leave a space
between cubes.
• Avoid overcookingskewered meat;it isusually moretenderand tastywhen cooked
rare or medium.
• Raw or firm vegetables may need to be par[ially cooked so that they will be done
at the same time as the meat. Onions, potatoes and squash are best if parboiled
or partiallymicrowaved.
• Partially cooked bacon can be wrapped around vegetables such as squash or
mushroomsbefore placingon skewersto prevent drying out. Whilecooking, brush
kebabs with madnade, peanut or olive oil, herb butter or fruit juice to keep food
moist.
• Meat, vegetables or fruits can be alternated on the same skewer or skewered
separately due to differences in cooking time.
• There are numerous food combinations that can be used such as: beef cubes,
cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges, and green pepper squares; beef cubes,
zucchinislices, and mushrooms;ham and yam cubes and apple slices;polish
sausage,peaches, peers,and pineapples.
