Tips
GRILLING TIPS
Meats Recommended cuts:
- Beef – Sirloin, New York, Rib Eye, Fillet.
- Lamb – Trim Lamb Leg Steaks, Fillet, Eye of Loin, Cutlets and Diced Lamb.
- Pork – Pork Chops, Tenderloin.
- It is not recommended to cook items with thick bones such as T-bone steaks.
- Tougher cuts such as flat iron steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To tenderize these cuts, marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.
- If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab the meat with paper towels before placing on the grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scorch on the cooking plate.
- Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices, toughening the meat.
- Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher, dry steak. Use silicon tongs instead.
- Do not over cook meat. Some meats are better served pink and juicy.
- Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
- When removing fish pieces from the grill, use a flat heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.
JUDGING DONENESS
There is an art to determining when your steak, lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to the correct degree of doneness – rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done – but it is easily mastered with these handy hints and tips.
NOTE
USDA Recommended Internal Temperatures are as follows:
- Medium 145°F
- Medium Well 160°F
- Well Done 170°F
Care & Cleaning
CLEANING THE OUTER BODY
Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the grill surface, before cleaning. Rinse. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
After each use, slide out the drip tray and discard contents. Wash the tray in warm soapy water with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Always ensure to re-insert the drip tray into the grill after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.
STORAGE
- Ensure the grill is turned OFF by turning the temperature dial to the OFF position. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
- Allow the grill, cooking plates and drip tray to cool completely.
- Ensure the grill, cooking plates and drip tray are clean and dry.
- Ensure the drip tray is correctly re-inserted into the grill.
- Ensure the cooking plates are correctly re-inserted and securely locked into position.
- Ensure the cooking plates are locked together by sliding the adjustable height control clip to the LOCK position.
