USDA Cooking Guidelines

A meat thermometer should always be used to gauge internal temperature. The thermometer should be inserted into the thickest portion of meat, away from bones or fatty areas.

The United States Department of Agriculture recommends that meat and poultry be cooked to the following internal temperatures to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. Ground turkey and chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F and ground beef, veal, lamb and pork be cooked to an internal temperature of 160° F. Chicken and turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170°F for white meat and 180° F for dark meat. Goose and duck should be cooked to an internal temperature of 180° F. Fresh beef, veal and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F. Freshpork should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160° F. When re-heating

meat and poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F.

Press Grill or Griddle: Hints for Best Results

Grilling Meats/Poultry/Fish

• To ensure moist and delicious grilled meats, always allow meats to rest 10 to 20 minutes before cutting.

• Use cuts of meat thick enough to touch the top and base plate when the 8-IN-1 Grill Station is closed.

• Tougher cuts such as ank steak should be tenderized by marinating for few hours or overnight.

Wine or vinegar will help to break down the connective tissue before grilling.

• Drain excess marinade and dry meat well before placing on the grill plate.

• Avoid using marinades that contain high sugar levels that can burn on the grill plate when cooked.

• To ensure a tender piece of grilled meat, do not salt meat before cooking.

• Do not overcook meat.

• To avoid tough and dry meats, never cut or pierce meats while cooking. Use scratch-proof tongs to add

or remove meat from grill plates.

• Use griddle plates when cooking delicate pieces of sh. Use a heat-resistant sh spatula to remove sh

from the hot griddle. DO NOT OVERCOOK!

Panini Maker: Pressed Sandwiches

425ºF, 5 to 7 minutes

1. Install 2 reversible panini/omelet plates; panini cookside up.

2. Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 400ºF or 425°F.

3. Prepare your sandwiches as the appliance heats. Panini can be prepared ahead of time,

sealed with plastic wrap, and refrigerated; then grilled as needed.

4. Wearing oven mit ts, carefully open the lid. Before rst use, if desired, lightly oil the plates.

IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the cooking plates.

Use vegetable or olive oil instead.

5. When the blue READY light illuminates, carefully center 1 or 2 sandwiches on the lower plate.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the cooking plate.

6. Use the oating hinge when preparing Panini and other thick sandwiches. To set up the oating hinge,

follow detailed instructions previously described in the section titled “To Use as a Contact Grill.” (See Figures 7 and 8.)

7. Close the lid so that the upper plate lies evenly on the top of the food. Use the top handle to press

down on the sandwiches while grilling.

8. Check cooked Panini after 5 minutes. Wearing oven mitts, remove pressed Panini from the cooking

plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula.

WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the

paniniplates.

9. If additional food is to be cooked, close the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to retain heat.

10. When all Panini are cooked, turn the temperature control dial to 250ºF. Remove the plug from the

wall outlet.

WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED. OTHERWISE, THE 8-IN-1 GRILL

STATION WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT UNTIL UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.

11. Allow 8-IN-1 Grill Station to cool completely before removing cooking plates or to clean the unit.

SO-313365_14577_BELLA_8 in 1 Grill_WM US_IM R5.indd 9 2016-07-14 9:29 AM

Panini Maker: Hints for Best Results

• It is customar y to prepare panini using a hearty loaf of bread. However, panini made from store-bought

sliced breads or rolls can be delicious and simple to prepare. Have fun and experiment with a variety of breads, tortillas, atbreads, even pitas.

• For health-conscious cooks, the non-stick coating of the cooking plates assures crisp and delicious

toasting without the use of oil or butter.

• While it is not necessary to butter or oil the outside of the bread, spreading a small amount

of butter or olive oil is recommended to encourage even browning of the bread.

IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the cooking plates.

Use vegetable or olive oil instead.

• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.

• When using soft or liquid llings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try removing the insides of soft rolls

to create a cup in which lling can be added.

• Most fruits release juice when heated. Drain and pat fresh or canned fruit dry with a clean paper towel.

• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.

• Dessert Paninis are delicious! A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled

panini crispier and adds avor when using sweet llings.

• Whole grain and sweet breads will grill faster than white breads and should be grilled for less time.

• After you have removed nished panini, close the upper grill plate to retain heat while assembling

more sandwiches.

• To avoid food contamination, wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel and a dab of

vegetable oil to wipe the grill plates clean af ter each use.

Omelets and Poached Eggs

Omelets 350ºF, 4 to 5 minutes Poached Eggs 300ºF, 3 minutes HINT: Use the 8-IN-1 Grill Station to cook omelet ingredients, if desired. Making omelets is a great way to

use leftovers.

1. Install 2 reversible panini/omelet plates; omelet cookside up.

2. Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 350ºF.

3. Omelet ingredients should be pre-cooked and cut into small pieces. Suitable llings for the omelets

include shredded cheese, small cooked, chopped vegetables such as thawed, frozen peas, blue onions, mushrooms, fresh or thawed and pressed spinach, drained chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced pieces of cooked bacon, sausage, meats or poultry.

CAUTION: Do not use any foods with bones or pits.

4. Place 2 fresh eggs in a small bowl. Whip well.

Wafe Maker: Hints for Best Results

• Most recipes can be easily halved or doubled.

• Do not open the Wafe Maker during the rst minute of baking or the waf e will separate.

Completely cook the wafe before removing.

• When a wafe is done, the upper lid should lift easily. Lift gently; if it pulls, continue cooking for 30

seconds and test again.

• When preparing wafe batter, do not over-mix or waf es will be tough. Stir batter only until large

lumps of dry ingredients disappear. Some lumps are ok.

• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped wafe, without overowing, will vary with

different wafe batters.

• For more evenly shaped wafes, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the lower cooking plate

using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing the lid.

• Cake-based wafes are more tender than regular wafes, and may require more care when

removing from the Waf e Maker. Wearing oven mitts, use a spatula to support wafes when removing from the Wafe Maker.

• To retain crispness, move baked wafes to a paper napkin or a wire cooling rack to absorb any

condensation. To keep wafes hot, place in an ovenproof dish on an oven rack and warm at about 200-250°F (90 -120°C). Wafes will keep for about 20 minutes before they begin to dry out.

• Cooled wafes can be re-warmed and re-crisped individually by returning to hot Wafe Maker.

Place wafes on lower cooking plate so grooves match; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

• Baked wafes freeze well. Cool wafes completely on a wire rack. Store in a sealed freezer bag or in

a covered container, separating wafes with wax paper.

• Reheat frozen wafes in a toaster oven, 300ºF oven or wide-mouth toaster until hot and crisp.

For lower sugar wafes and/or toppings:

• Use sugar substitutes.

• Use organic agave nectar.

• Use low-sugar preserves, marmalades or jellies.

• Use macerated dried fruits such as gs, dates, prunes.

• Use apple or mango sauce.

• Use sugar-free maple syrup.

For lower fat, lower cholesterol wafes:

• Use skim milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.

• Adapt recipes by eliminating egg yolks.

• Always use liquid vegetable oils such as canola, corn or sunower, instead of butter.

For higher ber wafes:

• Substitute half of the recipe white our with whole-wheat our.

• Substitute one-quarter of the recipe white our with wheat or oat bran.

• Use macerated high-ber dried fruits such as gs, dates, baby prunes

Quesadilla Maker: Hints for Best Results

• IMPORTANT! The Quesadilla Maker cannot cook foods. Ingredients must be cooked.

This Quesadilla Maker is used to melt cheese and warm ingredients.

• When preparing quesadillas, use fresh, 8-inch our tortillas. Various avored tortillas can be used

for a variety of interesting tastes and a fun, colorful presentation.

• Suitable llings for traditional quesadillas include shredded or sliced cheese, refried beans, thinly

sliced pieces of cooked meats sausages, cooked ground or pulled meats and poultry, and/or pre-cooked vegetables.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any foods with bones or pits.

• Do not over-stuff the quesadillas as the lling may leak into the reservoir. The lling should be

spread evenly up to a 1/2 inch on the tortilla. Generally, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese will work well.

• Quesadillas should be slightly crisp but not overdone. Do not grill for more than 7 minutes.

• To reheat previously grilled quesadillas, match up the triangle shapes to those on the cooking

plates. Reheat for 1 to 2 minutes.

• Use a pizza cutter or a sharp, serrated knife to slice the quesadilla for serving.
