Using Your Grill - hestan GABR30-NG Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

USING YOUR GRILL

Your Hestan Grill is a powerful and versatile cooking tool. Traditional grilling requires high heat
for searing and proper browning. Many meats are initially cooked on "HIGH" to sear / brown the
meat and lock in juices. After that, the temperature can be lowered to complete the cooking, such
EN
as with large pieces of meat or poultry. This method will cook the food through without burning
the outside. Traditional barbecuing (foods cooked for a long time at low heat) is also possible with
your Hestan Grill. As with any new tool, it will take a little practice to get to know your new grill,
how hot it runs, cooking times for your favorite foods, etc. DO NOT leave the grill unattended
while cooking.
PREHEATING
A typical preheat time for the Trellis Burner is about 10-15 minutes on "HIGH". The infrared
™
Rotisserie and Sear Burners also require 10-15 minutes pre-heat time.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The large temperature gauge in your Hestan grill hood indicates
when your grill is ready for cooking. The dial reads the air
temperature in your grill. Please add about 200°F (93°C) for the
surface grate temperature (see Fig. 8).
COOKING WITH TRELLIS BURNERS AND SEAR
™
BURNERS
The unique shape of the Hestan Trellis Burner was designed
with even heating in mind. The burners, along with the specially
designed valves, allow for a broad range of cooking temperatures.
The Trellis Burner can sear and grill your meats on high heat, or be
dialed down low for authentic barbecuing. The radiant briquette
trays are an integral part of this cooking system. They serve to
even out the heat, while also reducing flare-ups and vaporizing
drippings which release aromas that are absorbed by the meat. Figure 8
For those seeking a little more, the extreme heat of the Hestan Infrared Sear Burners offer even
more power for those wishing a quick sear to lock in flavor, while still retaining temperature
control. However, your grilling times are much shorter. The mesh screen on the burners serve to
protect the ceramic tiles from food debris and drippings which might clog the thousands of pores in
the tiles. Most drippings and grease will instantly vaporize on contact with the hot screen and tiles.
COOKING WITH THE ROTISSERIE
Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. The constant rotation not only
cooks foods evenly, it also self-bastes the food as the juices rise to the surface and naturally flow
around it. The position of the Hestan rotisserie burner ensures no flare-ups are possible and heat
is not directed at you when the hood is open. Your foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender,
and juicier when slow-roasted on a Hestan rotisserie.
Before rotisserie cooking, swing the warming rack down and out of the way. It will rest in place
against the rear wall, or it can be removed from the grill. A roasting pan is provided with your grill
to catch excess drippings from clogging your burners below. Be sure you remove it after using your
rotisserie and before using the other burners.
The Hestan rotisserie system consists of three main parts: the motor, the spit & forks, and the
infrared Rotisserie Burner.
THE MOTOR
Your Hestan Grill features an integral, chain-driven, AC motor which can handle a load of 50
in-lbs and a maximum diameter of 10 inches (25 cm). The Grill must be connected to AC power for
the rotisserie to work. The speed is not adjustable but should provide a respectable speed for the
majority of your rotisserie cooking needs.
