Advice From The Chefs; Questions/Answers - Cuisinart GR3E Instrucciones

4. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS :

• To preserve the non-stick quality of the cooking plates, never
allow them to heat up too long with no food on them and never
wash them with abrasive cleansers or pads.
• Use wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils to turn food items and
avoid cutting food while it is on the plates.
• Cut the food items to the same thickness for even cooking.
• With practice, you'll become accustomed to cooking times and
to the setting necessary for cooking food to your liking.
• Prepare marinades based on spices or condiments for meat or
fish, your preparations will be flavourful and more tender.
• When you are finished using your multi-function Griddle and
Grill, use the heat of the plates to remove excess grease and food
residue with a damp cloth, taking care not to burn yourself. The
heat of the plates will make the cleaning easier.
• If you use the grill to cook seafood, wipe the plates with lemon
juice to prevent the seafood flavour from being transferred to
the next preparation.

ANSWERS
It is normal for your appliance
to release some smoke when
it is first used; try cleaning
it with a damp cloth before
turning it on.
Make sure the plug is
properly plugged into the
outlet, that you selected a
cooking method, and that
the appliance has preheated
properly.
Check the temperature
selected or the cooking
method for the food and
make sure the appliance is
properly preheated.
Use the grill in the barbecue
or in the combined option
position and cook each kind
of food on a different plate,
this way the food flavours
won't mix.
The plates with "lower"
inscribed in them are inserted
into the lower part and those
with "upper" inscribed on
them are inserted into the
upper part by simply clipping
them in place.
After letting the appliance
cool, wipe with a hot, damp
cloth but do not run water
over it.
Avoid using too much fat
when cooking (e.g.: shrimp
in olive oil), the fat facilitates
release of smoke. Brush a little
fat/oil over your dry food.
