Grilling Tips - Cuisinart GRMC3E Manual De Instrucciones

carefully remove the cooking pan from the base and pour out the excess grease from the corner
of the cooking pan. Return the cooking pan to the base and fi nish cooking the dish as desired.
• You can use the cooking pan to cook ingredients in sauces, perfect for pasta dishes, casseroles
and much more. When simmering ingredients, always use the glass lid.
• When cooking with sauces / liquids, do not exceed the maximum fi ll level, which is clearly marked
'MAX' on the cooking pan. If the pan is overfi lled, there is a risk that the liquid could overfl ow the
pan, causing damage to the base unit.
• When browning meats, any brown bits that are left in the bottom of the pan can be used to
fl avour the dish. Simply add a small amount of liquid (like wine or stock) to the pan and scrape
up the browned bits with a wooden spoon.
• You can poach eggs and fi sh using the cooking pan.

Grilling Tips

• Don't overcrowd the grilling pan. Everything being grilled should have a fl at surface to cook on.
• Cut food into equal sized pieces before grilling, to ensure even cooking.
• Flatbreads can be reheated using the grilling pan, but should be brushed with a small amount
of oil fi rst.
• Although we wouldn't advise using the glass lid when grilling, as this can cause excess
condensation, the lid can be used to avoid grease from splattering or to keep food warm, once
cooked.
• Allow the grill to come up to temperature before adding food, for cooking.
• Use wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils to turn food over, to avoid scratching the non-stick
surface.
Steaming Tips
• Steaming is one of the healthiest methods of cooking, as the smallest amount of nutrients are
lost in the cooking process.
• To steam, fi ll the cooking pan with water to the steam indicator level, marked on the cooking
pan . Add ingredients to the steam rack. Cover and then select the requested temperature.
Refer to the Cooking Function Guidelines Chart and Steaming Chart on pages 15 and 16 for
recommendations.
• When adding heavier foods, like corn on the cob, to the steaming rack, place them on the middle
of the rack and work your way to the edges.
• Use the smaller amount of water (roughly 700ml) when steaming fi sh or seafood.
• Always use caution when removing the lid. It is best you remove the lid away from you, as steam
escaping from the cooking pan will be extremely hot.
