• When using the appliance for the first time, the
meat or fish may stick a little to the stone. It is
advisable not to turn the meat or fish until more
or less well-done.
• How well-done the food will be depends on the
kind of meat or fish, the preparation time, the
initial temperature of the food and its thickness.
Unless you wish your food rare, we advise to
prepare not too thick pieces.
• When grilling several times successively, it is
advisable to clean the grill-stone with a spatula
from time to time. In this case, do not use water
for cleaning!
- Grill the meat or fish according to your own
preference. Turn it from time to time (fig. 3).
- After grilling you can spread salt on the meat or
fish, or put sauce on it. Do not salt meat or fish
before preparation as too much juice would be
abstracted from it while being grilled.
Tips
The grill-stone is especially suitable for:
- all kinds of juicy meat such as pork filet, pork
tenderloin, veal or pork fricandeau, rump steak,
hamburger, pork chop, lamb chop, chicken filet,
turkey filet;
- many sorts of fish and such, e.g. pieces of
salmon or tunny fish, trout.
• Before grilling pieces of liver: wrap slices of
bacon around the pieces to avoid burning.
• Start out with grilling beef: then the grill-stone is
still hottest. This type of meat must be sealed
quickly.
• The stone-grill is also suitable for grilling e.g.
slices of pineapple, onion, paprika and
courgette.
• With your grilled meat, fish, vegetables and/or
fruit you may dish up:
- several sauces, such as mustard sauce, garlic
sauce, kebab sauce, curry sauce;
- mixed salads and/or fruit salades;
- French bread with herb butter.
Gourmet
For the "game" of Gourmet, in which each of the
participants produces his/her own "specialités du
chef", you use the pans.
There's no limit to the possibilities and variations:
the indications below are far from complete!
You will find tips and suggestions in modern
cookery books and culinary magazines.
For example, you can grill smaller pieces of meat
(such as fillet chicken, veal, mini beefsteaks),
vegetables and fruit, but also bake small-size
pancakes in your pans.
- Brush some oil on the inner side of the pans
(fig. 2).
Insert the plug into the mains outlet and wait for
the plate to heat up (approx. 30 minutes).
- Cut the meat into pieces of max. 2 cm (0.7") on
a separate carving board.
- Make 1/2 cm (0.2") thick slices (or rings) of
onions, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Grate (ripe) cheese or cut ("Raclette") cheese
to slices.
- Moisten the baguette lightly. Then make it
crispy again in your grill or oven (approx.
10 min. at about 200°C / 400° F).
- Put the meat, the other ingredients and the
(grated) cheese in cups and cover these with
aluminium or plastic foil.
- Make the table ready for the Gourmet party:
place mats, napkins, tissue, dishes, cutlery,
(wine) glasses, grids, carving boards, a bowl
with batter for pancakes, salad and/or raw food,
a breadbasket with (sliced) baguette, herb
butter and cool ordinary white or rosé wine,
cups with sauce (kebab and garlick sauce e.g.),
spices such as pepper, salt, paprika, curry
powder, mayonnaise, ketchup and some
(whisked) eggs.
Cooking "au gratin" with ("Raclette") cheese
Your Stone Raclette Grill offers you the possibility
to give a delicious crust of gratinated cheese to
the food which you have prepared in your pan on
the grill-stone.
Just spread grated cheese on the food or put a
slice of cheese on top and place the pan on the
lower plate.
On the lower plate your pan is heated from above
by means of radiant heat: excactly as it is with a
grill.
Firstly, the cheese will melt. After a while, it
becomes darker and starts bubbling.
Stop gratinating as soon as the first dark spots
appear.
Let the melted cheese cool down and set into a
tasty crust.
"Racletting"
With typical Swiss "Racletting" it is not meat but
(melted) cheese which plays the main part in the
game of Gourmet.
