This oven offers several grill settings:
Grill, Fan Grill, Microwave + Grill and
Microwave + Fan Grill.
Grill is suitable for flat items such as
cutlets, steak, burgers, toast etc.
Fan grill is suitable for grilling thick
cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.
In the Combination programmes
microwave power output is limited to
450 W for the entire duration of the
programme.
Preparing food for grilling
Rinse meat under cold running water
and then pat dry. Do not season meat
with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out. Add a little oil if
necessary. Do not use other types of fat
as they can get too dark, burn and
cause smoke. A little butter can be
added to chicken if desired.
Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the
normal way. To enhance the taste add a
little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice
over the fish.
Grilling
The grill temperature cannot be altered,
the grill is either on or off.
Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes
with the oven door shut before grilling.
Do not engage microwave power
during the pre-heating phase.
Brush the rack with oil and place the
prepared food on the rack.
It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that the
grilling time for each item does not vary
too greatly.
Place the rack on the glass tray and
slide into the second or third shelf level
from the bottom, depending on the type
of food you are grilling.
The rack can be used either way up to
achieve the best distance from the grill
element.
Most items should be turned half way
through cooking.
Fan grill
It is usually best to use the lowest shelf
level. The rack can be used either way
up. Using the rack with the raised
section facing upwards allows more
space underneath the food for hot air to
circulate. If necessary you can use the
second shelf level from the bottom, for
instance where the meat is not too thick
or large.
Test to see if cooked
One way of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press down on it with a spoon:
–
If there is very little resistance to the
pressure of the spoon, it is still red on
the inside ("rare").
–
If there is some resistance the inside
will be pink ("medium").
–
If there is great resistance, it is
throughly cooked through ("well
done").
