Use the high setting for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after you have browned it on the high setting. Cooking positions There is only one position for the grill shelf. Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight onto the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese. 7 / The grill S O N A T A 5 5 G L X a General The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using the main oven. You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using the main oven. Preheating You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food. Positioning food onthe grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid. Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked. 8 S O N A T A 5 5 G L X a The grill pan and handle The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from Parkinson Cowan by quoting part number 311479800\6. The grill 9 The hotplate S O N A T A 5 5 G L X a The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. Now light the burner in the usual way. See page 28 for more detailed information. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol. Burner sizes The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). 10 S O N A T A 5 5 G L X a For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. 4 Put pans on the centre of the burners. 5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. 6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes. 7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok. 8 Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board. this could damage the glass and reduce its strength. The hotplate 11 The ovens S O N A T A 5 5 G L X a Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly. 6 A pressure...
