Pre-Heating The Appliance; Practical Tips - Steba RC 4 plus Mode D'emploi

Before using this appliance for the first
time
1. Please clean all parts of the appliance before using it. The gourmet stone plate
and the basic appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth, an enamelled pans,
enamelled steel casting pan and grill plate with washing-up liquid. Dry all parts
well.
2. If your model is fitted with the gourmetstone plate as the grilling surface, coat it
first lightly with cooking oil to prevent anything from sticking to it in use.

Pre-heating the appliance

Switch the appliance on with the on/off switch. The grill must reach full heat before
anything can be placed on it.
Set the temperature selector to the required heat output:
∙ a high setting to grill steaks and similar if they are to be still red or pink inside
∙ a low setting if the food is to be grilled well through
∙ a medium setting is ideal for overbaking and for cheese raclettes.
Dry meat by dabbing it with a towel before grilling.

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 and the Stoneplate. In these instruc-
tions 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
Meat, fish und vegetable can be grilled on the plates. When planning the evening,
reckon on about 200 to 250 grams of material per person. 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.
∙ 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.
