Kettle BBQ
BBQ Oven Cooking
BBQ Oven cooking allows you to roast meats
and vegetables efficiently, while sealing in
the flavoursome juices.
The result is oven style, tender meat, with
wholesome crisp vegetables.

Oven Basics section below.
BBQ Oven Basics
• For optimum results, the Kettle BBQ
should always be preheated for 10 minutes
with the lid on.
• Avoid removing the lid continually during
the cooking time. The heat loss will only
lengthen the cooking time.
• All meats should be fully thawed or at
room temperature before cooking.
• Baste the meat during the last ½ hour
of cooking. Excess basting will cause
the meat to burn or darken if left on
throughout the entire cooking time.
• Meats such as beef, pork, chicken and
poultry require approximately 1½ - 2 hours
to cook, depending on the weight and size.
• After initially browning meat on the
grill plate, cook on a roasting rack. This
prevents excess browning on one side and
eliminates turning the meat over.
Note: Caution should be taken when using a
metal rack on the grill plate. Ensure there are
no sharp edges that could scratch the non-
stick coating.
• Avoid overcooking meats. The longer the
cooking time, the less tender the meat will
be.
• Use a meat thermometer to take the
guesswork out of the BBQ cooking.
The guides on the thermometer will
indicate the temperature of the food. The
temperature guide on the thermometer will
tell you when the meat is cooked to your
desired choice. For an accurate reading,
always insert the thermometer into the
thickest part of the meat.
• Rest meat, covered, for about 10 minutes
before carving. This allows the juices to
settle.
