To use as a Grill

and the green “Ready” light will illuminate.

2. Allow the Grill & Sandwich press to preheat until the green “Ready” light goes out.

3. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the bottom cooking plate. Refer to Grilling recipes

or guide for cooking times.

4. Close the top cooking plate on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve Grill marks on the selected foods.

5. When the selected foods are grilled, open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a plastic spatula

To use as a Sandwich Press

1. Insert the plug into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power on. The red power “On”

light and the green “Ready” light will illuminate

2. Allow the Grill & Sandwich Press to preheat until the green “Ready” light goes out.

3. During this time, prepare the sandwich and place it onto the bottom cooking plate. Always

place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.

4. Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.

5. Toasting should take approximately 4-5minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and filling used.

6. When the sandwich is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.

Recommended cuts Beef: Sirloin (New York), rump, rib eye (scotch fillet), fillet. Lamb: Trim lamb leg steaks, fillet, eye of loin, cutlets and diced lamb. Pork: Butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs, leg steaks, fillets, diced pork.

1. Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak or lamb forequarter or neck chops can

be used. To tenderize these cuts marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.

2. Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

3. If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess

marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the grill & sandwich press. Some marinades contain high sugar levels which can scorch on the grill plate when cooked.

4. Do not overcook meat, even pork is better served pink and juicy.

5. Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.

6. When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

7. Parboiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.
