Tips for grilling

Quality of the meat

The grilled result depends on the nature and quality 

of the meat and on your personal taste. As far as 

possible, grilled pieces should be equally thick. In 

this way, they will brown evenly and they will stay 

nice and juicy. 

Preheating the grill

Always preheat the grill. In this way, the intensive 

heat radiation will seal the surface of the grilled food 

and juice cannot leak out.

Preparing the food

To avoid drying out the surface and to improve the

taste, lightly brush the food before grilling with 

heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil). Make sure you do 

not use too much oil as otherwise there will be a risk 

of fire.

Always grill steaks unsalted. Otherwise, water and 

soluble nutrients might leak and be lost.

Do not remove the fatty layer (e.g. on a cutlet) until 

after grilling as otherwise the meat will lose juice and 

aroma. 

Placing the food on the grill

Place grilled pieces directly on the grid iron. If there is 

only one piece for grilling, place it in the middle of 

the grid iron for best results.

Turning the food

Turn the meat when small fluid drops can be seen on

the surface of the meat.

Turn grilled pieces over as soon as they can be 

removed easily from the grid iron. If the meat is

sticking to the grid iron its texture will be destroyed

and juice will leak out.

Tips for grilling

Do not pierce the meat while grilling it. It may lose its 

juice.

Meat is medium if juice appears on the surface of a 

steak (pink inside and crispy brown on the outside).

Serve grilled food hot. Grilled food will go tough if 

you keep it warm.

Dripping Fat 

Fat dripping onto the grill heating element may flare 

up briefly and will produce smoke. To reduce flaring 

up, grill fatty food over the water bath.
