HINTS AND TIPS
Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Most foods should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly onto the trivet in the grill pan, if preferred. The use of the trivet beneath the grid when grilling fatty foods will help minimise splashing. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meat, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf. Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust
temperature and shelf positions during cooking, if necessary. Turn food over during cooking, as necessary. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes, e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving. Be prepared to make adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If fan grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking. COOKING TIMES - Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook with fan grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger loads can be cooked at the same time. A general guide to cooking times is given below but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.
