Medium well
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling
on top surface. Turn and cook on second side
until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat
slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer
will show the internal temperature of a
medium well steak as 160–170°F (70–75°C).
Well done
Cook on one side until moisture is pooling
on top surface. Turn and cook on second side
until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat
slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
very firm with back of tongs. A meat
thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a well done steak as 170°F
(75°C).
NOTE
Steaks do not need turning if cooking in
contact position. Turn steaks once only
when grilling in open flat BBQ mode.
PANINI SANDWICHES
For best cooking results when toasting paninis:
• Always place paninis on the center of the
bottom plate.
• Toasting should take approximately
5–8 minutes. Exact toasting time will
be a matter of preference and the type
of bread and fillings used.
Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types
of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat,
wholegrain etc), as well as artisan breads
(Focaccia, flat bread, baguettes, bread rolls,
etc). Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet
breads which contain high sugar content
will tend to brown quicker.

Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may release excessive juices when
heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches
containing fillings such as cheese and tomato
or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten
too quickly.
Toasting bread
The flat plate makes the grill ideal for toasting
plain breads and flat bread, without any fillings
or spreads. Try toasting flat bread for a great
alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
Fat free snacks
Due to the non-stick flat plate, it is not
necessary to use any butter or margarine
on the outside of your toasted snacks.
