leave it flat, to prevent food drifting towards the front of the grill.

•

Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.

•

Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with fluid ingredients like molten cheese, on the flat.

PREPARATION / PREHEAT

6. Switch off and unplug the grill.

CHECK THAT THE FOOD IS COOKED

•

Whichever cooking mode you use, check that the food is cooked through before serving –
if you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.

FITTING THE PLATES

Fit one plate at a time.

2. The bottom grill plate has two small tabs , one at either end on one side of the grill plate.

The top grill plate has one large tab in the centre.

3. For the top plate, put the tab into the slot on the hinge side of the appliance.

For the bottom grill plate, put the tabs into the slots on the rear side of the appliance.

5. Press the other edge of the plate into the handle side, to lock it in place.
6. At the places where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may

show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

You may wash these parts in a dishwasher.

You may wash these parts in the top rack of a dishwasher.

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for

contact grilling

fresh or fully defrosted food and

have been selected based on temperature setting 3. For more delicate foods, or if you prefer
food less crispy or more rare, select one of the lower settings. When cooking frozen foods, add

2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the thickness

and density of the food. If you prefer well-done/ crispy food or quicker cooking times select
temperature setting 4. When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package
or label.

A FEW RECIPES TO GET YOU STARTED

Recipes are available on our website: www.georgeforeman.co.uk

CONTACT GRILL SETTING

Grilled Peppers stuffed with Creamy Red Pesto Rice

1 Medium sized Red or Yellow Pepper (halved and de seeded)

5ml Olive Oil

75g Risotto rice
400ml Boiling Water

5g Vegetable bouillon
½ Small Onion (finely chopped)
2 Mushrooms (finely chopped)

15g Cream Cheese

30g Red Pesto
Ground Black pepper

Few spring onion (finely chopped)
Cook the rice in the boiling water with a teaspoon of vegetable bouillon to add flavour.
Wash and dry the pepper and coat the outer skin in olive oil. Place on the pre heated grill and
leave to cook for around 6 - 8 minutes until the skins soften.
In a bowl, combine the cooked risotto rice with the chopped onion, mushrooms, cream
cheese, pesto and black pepper. Spoon the mixture into the grilled pepper halves and top with
chopped spring onion. Place back on the grill and cook for another 2 minutes until the tops are
golden brown.

Chicken Stuffed with Sweet Balsamic Red Onion Marmalade

2 Chicken Breasts

1 clove Garlic (crushed)
1 Large Red Onion (sliced into thin slivers)

5g Butter

15-30ml Olive Oil

60ml Balsamic Vinegar
Small Pinch brown sugar

Pinch Sea Salt
Freshly Ground White Pepper

1 Small handful flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)

In a bowl combine the onion slivers with the garlic, balsamic vinegar, butter, oil, sugar, salt and
pepper and leave for the flavours to develop for a little while or in the refrigerator overnight.
Place the marinaded onions onto a pre-heated grill and cook for around 4 - 6 minutes until
the onions have softened and caramelised. Lightly stir the onions half way through cooking
to avoid over browning. Once cooked, remove the onions, place in a bowl and allow to cool
completely.

Next, flatten the chicken breasts until they’re about 10 - 15mm thick. Brush with a little olive
oil. Place a spoonful of the red onion marmalade onto the flattened chicken and roll up (use a
wooden cocktail stick to secure if desired). Place the stuffed chicken parcels on the pre-heated
grill and cook for around 7 - 9 minutes until fully cooked through. Serve with grilled asparagus
or a green salad.

Grilled Tuna Steak with a Black Pepper Crust

2 Fresh Tuna Steaks

15g Freshly ground coarse Black Pepper

25g Flour with a pinch of salt

1 egg (beaten)

Breadcrumbs (from 1 slice of fresh white or wholemeal bread)
Place flour, egg, breadcrumbs and black pepper in separate dishes. Dip the tuna steaks firstly
into the flour, then the beaten egg then the breadcrumbs and finally the coarse black pepper.
Pat the fish firmly to secure the crust.
Place the coated tuna steaks onto the hot grill and cook for 2 - 3 minutes or 1 - 2 minutes if you
prefer the tuna rare.

Spicy Mexican Beef and Bean Wraps with Creamy Coriander Crème Fraiche

50 - 75g Minced Beef (or use Soya Mince for vegetarians)

1 small chilli (deseeded and finely chopped)

30ml Tomato Puree

1 Clove Garlic (crushed)

½ Onion (finely chopped)

1 Small Tin Mixed Beans (approximately 150g when drained)

5g Chilli powder
5g Ground Cumin
5g Coriander
2 Floured Tortilla Wraps
25g Grated Cheddar Cheese (optional)

Coriander Crème Fraiche:

2 - 3 Tbsp Crème Fraiche

Squeeze lemon Juice
Large handful Fresh Coriander (finely chopped)
Freshly ground black pepper
In a bowl combine the minced beef with the onion, tomato puree, garlic, beans and spices.
Place the mixture onto the pre-heated grill and cook for between 6 - 8 minutes until meat is fully

browned (use a plastic/wooden spatula to break the meat up half way through cooking).
Meanwhile combine the crème fraiche with the chopped coriander and the lemon juice and
place in a serving bowl.
Divide the cooked meat mixture between the 2 flour tortillas, top with cheese if desired and roll
up. Place back on the hot grill and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.

MELT SETTING

Triple Cheese and Garlic Mushroom Melt

1 Mini French Baguette, Crusty Sub Roll or Ciabatta
1 drizzle Olive oil (use a flavoured oil such as basil or chilli if preferred)

25g Grated Mature Cheddar Cheese
25g Grated Mozzarella Cheese
25g Grated Gruyere or Emmental Cheese
3 - 4 Button Mushrooms (thinly sliced)

1 clove garlic (crushed)

Small handful fresh flat leaf parsley (chopped)
Cut the bread in half lengthways. Drizzle each half with the oil and rub with the crushed garlic.

Top both halves with the three cheeses, then the parsley and lastly the mushrooms. Cook on a

pre heated grill in melt mode for 3-4 minutes or until all the cheese has melted.

Granary Bread Panini with Smokey Bacon, Stilton Cheese and Toasted Walnuts

2 Thick Slices of Granary Bread (or use walnut bread or wholemeal bread)
5ml Olive oil or Butter
50g Stilton Cheese
2 rashers Smokey bacon
2 - 4 Walnuts

Small handful Fresh rocket Leaves to serve

Toast the walnuts on the hot grill for 1 - 2 minutes, allow to cool slightly and roughly chop. Next,

cook the rashers of bacon on the grill for around 2 - 4 minutes to the desired level of crispness.
Remove and place on kitchen paper.
Drizzle each of the bread slices with olive oil or if preferred spread with butter. Top with
crumbled Stilton cheese, then bacon and walnuts. Cook on the grill in melt mode for 3 minutes.
Serve with rocket leaves or a salad of your choice.

Grilled Steak Sandwich with Horseradish, Baby Plum tomatoes and Watercress

2 Thick Slices Crusty Bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

1 Sirloin Steak

2 tsp Horseradish Sauce
2 - 3 Sliced Baby Plum Tomatoes

Small handful Watercress
