This grill/press may generate steam from between the grill plates while food is cooking and when the top plate is opened.
Hints for best results when grilling 1. Tender cuts of meat such as scotch fillet and sirloin are ideal for grilling. Tougher cuts of meat such as topside or blade steak will tenderise if marinated for a few hours or overnight. 2. Avoid overcooking meat as the texture will toughen. 3. Recommended cuts; Beef = S irloin, Rump, Rib Eye, Fillet or T-Bone Lamb = Leg Steak, Fillet, Loin or Cutlets Pork = B utterfly Steaks, Spare Ribs, Leg Steaks or Fillets 4.
Hints for best results when toasting snacks 1. Any type or shape of bread can be used, e.g. white, wholemeal, wholegrain, sourdough, bread rolls, bagels. 2. Various thicknesses of bread can be used from thick to thin slice. Turkish pide or focaccia are also suitable. 3. Sweet breads with a high sugar content (e.g. fruit loaf, raisin bread, brioche) will brown more quickly than non-sweetened breads. 8 4. It is not necessary to butter the outside of your bread as the Café Press has non-stick cooking plates.
