Grilling Times - Philips Cucina HD2433 Manual De Instrucciones

When grilling thick ingredients, do not press the upper plate down to activate the auto-lock
mechanism but simply let it rest on top of the ingredients.
7 Open the contact grill after 3-5 minutes.
The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, the thickness of the items and your personal taste.
See the table for the recommended grilling times.
8 Remove the grilled food (fig. 12).
Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the grilled food from the contact grill. Do
not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.
To continue grilling, place the next batch of food on the lower plate when the green heating-up
light goes out.
For optimal results, remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper before placing
the next batch of food on the grill.
9 Unplug the appliance after use.

Grilling times

In the table you will find a number of dishes you can prepare with the contact grill. The grilling times
indicated in the table do not include the time necessary to let the appliance heat up.
During the cooking process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time to
indicate that the heating elements are switched on or off to maintain the correct temperature.
When the green light goes on or out, you can simply continue grilling.
You can adapt the grilling time and grilling temperature to your own taste. The setting also depends
on the kind of food that is being prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature.
Tips
Do not use the contact grill to prepare meat with bones attached to it. The bones could
damage the non-stick coating of the plates.
Always cook small batches to get the best results.
Sausages tend to burst when they are being cooked. This can be prevented by punching a
few holes in the skin with a fork.
Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat.
Do not put salt on the meat until after you have grilled it. This will help to preserve the
meat juices.
Do not grill pieces of meat that are too thick.
Turn ingredients that are thinner than about 1 cm at least once during grilling.
