Cooking tips
Some suggestions for getting the best out of your barbecue are given below. Please remember that cooking
times and intensities may vary according to personal taste.
Direct cooking: when food is cooked directly on the grill under which the burner is lit.
Indirect cooking: when food is cooked on the grill adjacent to the one with the lit burner.
DURING COOKING THE SIDE COOKING SURFACE MUST BE LIFTED.
Meat
To cook meat preheat the grill burners on maximum setting for at least 5-10 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the meat. For small pieces (chops, bacon rashers, ribs etc.) preheat for a short time
(approximately 5 minutes). For bigger cuts (joints, whole chickens, etc.) preheat for longer (approximately
10 minutes). In both cases the lid should be left down during the preheat.
Direct cooking
In general, to cook meat direct, the burners should be set on maximum, and on medium/minimum for fish
and vegetables. For best results, scald the food first on maximum. Then adjust the burners to medium/
minimum until the food is cooked through without burning on the outside. While cooking, particularly with
pork, it is normal for the flame to flare up due to fat dripping. If this occurs move the food to a cooler area of
the grill. Completely filling the grill with food is not therefore recommended.
Indirect cooking
After preheating the grill, with the burners on maximum and the cooking lid closed, position the meat on the
side of the grill adjacent to the lit burner. With the 90 cm barbecue position the meat on the central grill after
lighting the side burners. Start cooking with the burners set to minimum and increase gradually. Cooking
takes considerably longer than with direct cooking, but good results are guaranteed. Large cuts of meat or
fish cook well with this type of cooking (joints, whole chickens, sea bream, etc.), or particularly thick or fatty
food, which may result in frequent flare-up due to the fat dripping.
Vegetables
Vegetables, like meat, should be cooked on burners that have been preheated on maximum (for 5/10
minutes) with the cooking lid closed.
Direct cooking
After preheating adjust the burners to minimum and arrange the vegetables on the grill. Keep the burners
on minimum for the duration to protect delicate food.
