14.3 Non-stick coating on grilling plates
1. The grilling surfaces of your contact grill feature a special non-stick coating. This coating
enables you to prepare foods healthily while using a minimum amount of fat or oil.
2. Do not use sharp, metal kitchen utensils and do not cut food directly on the grilling plate.
The manufacturer holds no liability for damage to the coating caused by use of sharp
objects or metal utensils.
3. If the color of the surfaces changes over time, this does not affect the function. On these
surfaces a good patina for grilling is formed.
14.4 Tips for grilling meat
1. In the meat juice of grilled food are included all the essential vitamins, minerals and
flavors. Double contact grilling guarantees fast and juice obtained results.
2. A "medium" roasting result can be obtained from a 2 centimeter thick steak in about 3
minutes.
3. Do not salt the meat before grilling. This would result in the meat being tough and dry.
4. Before starting to grill marinated meat, pat with paper towels to remove excess
marinade. Some marinades have a high sugar content, which may become charred to
the grilling plate.
5. When grilling, do not insert a fork or knife into the meat, as this would cause the juices
to flow out. This would also result in making the meat tough and dry.
6. Do not overcook your meat, because then it will be dry and leathery.
7. Always make sure chicken is cooked through.
8. When the meat is finished grilling, season it to taste with salt or other seasoning.
