Handy Hints.
• Tender cuts of meat such as scotch fillet and
sirloin are ideal for grilling. Tougher cuts of
meat such as topside or blade steak will
tenderise if marinated for a few hours or
overnight.
• Avoid turning food regularly. Once the food
has been seared on both sides, cook food at
a reduced heat setting. This prevents the
food from drying out and will cook your
food more evenly. Avoid overcooking meat
as the texture will toughen.
• The ribbed hotplate is ideal for cooking a
variety of meats, including beef, fish and
poultry. The drainage holes allow the fats
and juices to drain into the drip tray for
healthy fat free cooking.
• The flat hotplate is ideal for cooking a
variety of foods such as eggs, bacon,
mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. It is also
handy for keeping foods warm, including
stuffed mushrooms, filled potatoes or corn
on the cob.
• The variable heat control has a wide range
of heat settings ideal for specific cooking
tasks. The table below lists suggested heat
settings.
Note:
The Compact BBQ Grill will reach the cooking temperature in 5 minutes on heat setting 12.
The hotplate is then ready for cooking. The indicator light will remain ON for a further 5 minutes
until the temperature begins to cycle.
Note:
When barbecuing on high heat settings, the Compact BBQ Grill will generate smoke. Selecting a
lower heat setting will reduce smoke. For indoor use, adequate ventilation is recommended.
