Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5
minutes with the oven door shut.
Place the food to be grilled in the
grill pan and then the oven.
Insert the grill pan at the appropriate
for the height of the food to be
grilled:
thin cuts = level 3 or 4
thicker cuts = level 1 or 2
Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
need about 5-6 minutes a side depend-
ing on their texture.
Thicker pieces need longer.
With rolled meat allow approx. 10
minutes per cm diameter.
It is best to grill food of a similar thick-
ness at the same time so that the
for each item does not vary
too greatly.
Most items should be turned half way
through cooking.
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 thor-
oughly cooked through ("well done").
