efore using for the first time<br />

1 Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.<br />

which grill plates to use?<br />

2 Decide which grill plates you want to use.<br />

top plate this must be fitted to the top element, whether the ribbed plate or pizza<br />

plate is fitted to the bottom element<br />

ribbed plate to grill meat, sausages, and anything that might give off fat<br />

pizza plate for non-fatty items, for baking, and for things like eggs, omelettes, filled<br />

pancakes, filled pittas, small calzone, and batters (like Yorkshire pudding)<br />

that need a flat surface<br />

wrap plates for quesadillas, tortillas, and other wraps<br />

the grill plates<br />

3 The top plate is marked “UP” on the side that faces the element. Fit it to the top element,<br />

with the “UP” to your right – it won’t fit the other way round.<br />

4 Fit the ribbed plate to the bottom element, with the overhang at the front.<br />

5 Fit the pizza plate to the bottom element, with the single pillar at the rear.<br />

6 The wrap plates are identical. Use them as a pair, on both top and bottom elements.<br />

fitting the grill plates<br />

7 Fit one plate at a time.<br />

a) grip the handles at either side of the plate<br />

b) slide the upper central parts of the handles outwards (marked “RELEASE”)<br />

c) fit the grill plate over the element, with the handles over the indents<br />

d) release the handles, to lock the plate in place<br />

e) fit the other plate the same way<br />

removing the grill plates<br />

8 Remove one plate at a time.<br />

a) grip the handles<br />

b) slide the upper central parts of the handles outwards<br />

c) lift the plate off the grill<br />

d) remove the other plate the same way<br />

tilted or flat?<br />

9 Decide whether you want the grill tilted, so that fat and juices run down to the drip tray,<br />

or flat, for eggs, pizza, and other “runny” foods.<br />

caution don’t touch the body of the grill, it may be hot – use oven gloves<br />

10 Close the grill<br />

11 Push the handle down, towards the work surface, to raise the rear of the grill<br />

tilt use the other hand to pull the tilt support out from under the rear of the grill<br />

flat use the other hand to push the tilt support under the rear of the grill<br />

12 Release the handle, to lower the grill and rest the tilt support on the work surface<br />

preparation<br />

13 Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, so it catches any run-off.<br />

14 Open the grill, wipe the plates with a little cooking oil or butter, then close it. Don’t use<br />

low fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.<br />

power up<br />

15 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).<br />

16 The red power light will glow to show the grill is connected to the electricity supply.<br />

17 Slide the temperature control to the setting you need – from 1 (low) to 5 (high).<br />

18 The green ready light will glow. It’ll go off when the grill reaches working temperature,<br />

then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.<br />

19 Wait till the green ready light is out before cooking.<br />

fill the grill<br />

20 Put on your oven gloves, open the grill, and lay the food on the bottom plate.<br />

21 Use a spatula or tongs, not fingers.<br />

22 Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick surfaces.<br />

23 Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.<br />

24 The plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.<br />

25 Wait till the food has cooked.<br />

remove the food<br />

26 Open the grill – use the oven gloves.<br />

27 Check the food is cooked – if you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.<br />

28 Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.<br />

29 Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.<br />

30 Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.<br />

finished?<br />

31 Unplug the grill (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).<br />

more?<br />

32 Put on the oven glove, empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl, then give it a wipe<br />

with kitchen paper, and put it under the front of the grill.<br />

care and maintenance<br />

33 Unplug the grill and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.<br />

34 Open the grill.<br />

35 Remove one plate at a time.<br />

36 After removing the plates, wash them in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher.<br />

37 Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth. Use a paper towel moistened with a little<br />

cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.<br />

38 Dry the plates before replacing them on the grill.<br />

39 Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.<br />

40 Don’t put the grill in water or any other liquid<br />

41 Don’t use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.<br />

Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs<br />

of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.<br />

This appliance is for household use only<br />

cooking times & food safety<br />

Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food cooked at<br />

setting 4 or above, using the top plate and the ribbed plate. When cooking frozen<br />

foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending<br />

on the thickness and density of the food.<br />

Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.<br />

Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.<br />

Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.<br />

When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.<br />

CHICKEN TOSTADAS<br />

QUESADILLA / TORTILLA


*Canned refried beans are readily available in supermarkets and are quite inexpensive.<br />

Tortillas may be fried in a little olive oil until crisp but a healthier choice is to reheat in the tortilla plates<br />

until crisp. In a pan, gently heat the refried beans, stirring constantly Spread onto each tostadas and top<br />

dish, top with plenty of grated cheddar and continue layering until both tortilla chips and cheese are<br />

onto each onto, roll up and place seam side down in an ovenproof dish. Continue until tortillas and<br />

cover the filling and pinch to seal. In a pan, heat a little extra light olive oil and cook 2 -3 minutes<br />

on each side. Serve at once with guacamole and Mexican Sauce. (See above recipe.)<br />

Steam potatoes and mash when cooked and tender. Heat a pan, add the diced sausage and stir over low heat<br />

for 8 - 10 minutes. Mix into the mashed potato and mix well.<br />

These tasty little “pasties” are lightly fried before serving. Do not over crowd the pan. Although usually<br />

made from traditional “masa” (corn flour), they are still delicious served with flour tortillas.<br />

Make up tortillas according to basic recipe, but 10cm in size.<br />

RELLENO WITH POTATO AND SPICY SAUSAGE FILLING Makes about 2 1/2 cups<br />

Halve the avocados, remove pits and scoop out the flesh. Place into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add chillies,<br />

Although Australians usually serve it as a dip, this popular recipe accompanies<br />

many dishes in Mexican and South American cuisine. This is a traditional version<br />

and is excellent served with tortillas which have been “crisped” in the tortilla pan<br />

or very lightly fried and then broken or cut into small pieces. The avocados should be<br />

very ripe and mashed with a fork, not in a food processor.<br />

GUACAMOLE<br />

Combine all ingredients. Use freshly cooked tortillas or reheat slightly to soften sufficiently to roll.<br />

Serve on mixed baby greens with a bowl of light sour cream on the side.<br />
