Place the RÖSLE kettle grill on a straight and stable surface. Ensure that before lighting the coals, the ash
catcher is properly attached and all dampers are open. We recommend using grill lighters (conforming to
quality charcoal-briquettes or charcoal. Ensure the quality of grill coals by paying attention to the EN-logo.
Store these in a dry place.
For a grilling time of 1 hour you require approx. 1 kg of standard charcoal briquettes, with charcoal you will
require approx. 1.5 kg. Caution! The maximum capacity of charcoal is:
Grills with Ø 50 cm | 20 in.: 1.5 kg | 3.3 lbs charcoal,
Grills with Ø 60 cm | 23,6 in.: 2.5 kg | 5.5 lbs charcoal
closed.
2.1
Do not use any liquid such as petrol, spirits or similar liquid accelerant to do this. As soon as the grill
lighters are burning they can be covered with charcoal briquettes. Ensure that the burning charcoal
briquettes do not come into direct contact with the sides of the grill. Leave the coals burning with the
lid open for about 30 – 45 minutes until they glow evenly all over and are surrounded by a layer of
white ash. Only then start grilling.
Read the recipe through and look for the instructions on setting the grill. With the RÖSLE kettle grill you
have two cooking methods available to you – direct or indirect. On the following pages you will find spe-
cific instructions.
Do not try to save time by placing the food on the grill when the correct grilling temperature has not
been been reached. Leave the charcoal to burn until a layer of light-grey ash has formed on the coals (lea-
ve the air vents open so that the fire does not go out).
Use a barbecue turner or tongs, but not a fork. These let juices escape and with them flavour which leaves
the food dry.
Check the food fits onto the grill before closing the lid. Ideally there should be a gap of approx. 2 cm bet-
ween individual food items.
Do not keep opening the lid to look at the food. Every time the lid is lifted heat escapes, in other words
the meal takes longer to reach the table.
Only turn the food once if the recipe so requires.
If you close the lid of the grill, flames cannot build up under the food, you reduce the cooking time and
get better grill results.
Never flatten food such as e. g. burgers. Doing this squeezes the juice out of the meat and dries the food.
If you baste the food lightly with oil it will brown evenly and not stick to the cooking grate. Only brush or
spray the food with oil and not the cooking grate.
Wash your hands and the implements thoroughly with hot water and detergent before and after handling
Never put cooked food on the same plate on which you have had raw food.
Only defrost your food in the fridge and not at room temperature.
