Practical Tips - Steba PG 4 Mode D'emploi

3. Party grilling
The grooved grill plates are used. Open up the top shell on the handle, lift up
slightly and place to the rear (Fig. 8 + 9).
Place a small plate under each of the fat outlets (Fig. 6).
Be absolutely sure when grilling that hot plate 1 is covered first. Under no circum-
stances may plate 2 be used alone for party grilling, only in combination with plate
1 will perfect temperature control be achieved (Fig. 9).
4. Baking waffles
The appliance can be turned into a waffle iron by turning over the grill plates. For
turning over the plates, see section ,,Preparation".
In all cases
Close the appliance (Fig. 10) and heat up. To do this, insert the mains plug and set
the temperature selector to the rated figure as indicated in the grill compass, bottom
line. The appliance is not ready for operation until the control lamp has gone out.
Then place the food to be cooked. For continuous operations such as baking waffles,
for example, always wait until the appliance has become heated up. Only then add
the batter!
Temperatures
The temperatures can be set continuously from Position 1 to 5.
Position 1: around 150°C; Position 2: around 160°C
Position 3: around 200°C; Position 4: around 230°C
Position 5: around 250°C
The times given in the grill compass assume a preheated appliance (the control lamp
has gone out). Vary the times according to the thickness and the desired degree of
cooking of the food.

Practical tips:

Contact grilling
Pieces of meat are suitable which you would also use for brief frying in the frying
pan.
Before grilling, the meat must be completely thawed out and thoroughly dry. Salter
after grilling. If aluminium foil is used, grease it slightly on the inside. Breaded foods
are preferably cooked at a lower heat for somewhat longer.
Browning
e.g., filled slices of toast.
Toast bread does not have to be pretoasted.

Party grilling
For "sociable grilling" at the table, the appliance is used like a large frying pan for
grilling all quickly fried meat cuts. The food must be turned over.
Baking waffles
After they have been heated up, the waffle irons are greased once with oil or vegeta-
ble fat. If you are careful in measuring and pouring the batter evenly, you can avoid
the running over of the batter. Always let waffles cool off on a kitchen grate.
Note: Waffles made with milk and cream become softer and lighter, water waffles
become crisper and browner.
