THERMAL GRILLING
USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill. The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast. Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
SELECTING THERMAL GRILLING
1) Turn the selector to Thermal Grill. 2) Turn the oven temperature control to the required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling). Use the grilling chart on page 28 as a guide.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The cooling fan may cycle on and off during the initial period which is quite normal. The internal light will come on. Warning: Do not Auto-time this function. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed and the grill pan handle removed.
