Practical tips
You have an ideal combined appliance with this raclette grill. You can make cheese
raclettes in the pans and you can grill on the grill. In these instructions we would like
to give you a few general tips for a nice, friendly raclette and grill evening. You will
find many more ideas in modern cookery books and magazines.
With recipes requiring the use of the gourmet pans please be careful not to fill them
too full, as it may then be difficult to insert them into the appliance.
1. Grilling on the grillingplate
When planning the evening, reckon on about 200 to 250 grams of material per per-
son. The grill plate has a large surface on which meat (e.g. rump steak or mince), fish,
and a wide variety of tasty dishes can be prepared. A large number of side-dishes,
sauces, and dips are suitable to accompany them. If fat or juice runs out of the meat,
it collects in the groove and cannot drip onto the table.
∙ How well „done" the dishes have to be depends on the type of meat or fish, the
length of time it takes, its initial temperature, and its thickness. If you prefer your
steaks not too „rare", do not cut them too thick.
∙ The time you give meat or fish is a matter of your personal taste. Turn the meat or
fish over from time to time.
∙ Finally, you can salt the meat or fish, or add a sauce to it. Do not salt before grilling
as this draws the juice out.
Enamelled grilling plate (RC 2):
This is designed as a reversible plate. You can grill dishes perfectly using the ribbed
surface (Fig. Sa). By simply turning the grill plate over you have a facility for preparing
crepes etc. on the smooth side.
Stone plate (RC 3):
∙ No oil or grease is needed on the stone, so the natural flavour of meat, fish, and
other ingredients is preserved (with the exception of the oil you apply before first
using the stone).
∙ Always use the gourmet grill pans with the smooth surface upwards.
∙ lt is possible that the meat or fish could „catch" (burn in slightly) the first time the
appliance is used. Do not turn the meat or fish over until it is very easy to loosen
from the surface.
∙ The grill stone is particularly suitable for the natural grilling of all kinds of juicy
meat, fruit, and vegetables.
