ELECTRICAL CORD

  1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
    tripping over a longer cord.
  2. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  3. If a long extension cord is used:
    • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
    • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
    • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

  4. The green ready light will come on when the elements reach the correct cooking temperature, then cycle on and off with the thermostat.
  5. Wait till the green light comes on before starting to cook.

MAKING TOASTIES (sandwich plates)

CAUTION: Don’t use raw meat of any kind in the appliance. All fillings must be safe and ready to eat before cooking.

  1. Cut 4 slices of bread to overlap the plates by about 1/4 inch (0.5cm) on all sides. Fresh sliced bread is best.
  2. Spread butter/margarine thinly on each slice. Don’t use low-fat spread. Low fat spreads may burn, damaging the non-stick surfaces.
  3. Toasties are made buttered side out. Put 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the bottom toasting plate.
  4. Press the bread gently into the hollows in the toasting plate with a wooden spoon.
  5. Fill the hollows formed in the bread with two level teaspoons of filling per toastie. More than that amount may cause the filling to ooze out.
  6. Lay a slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of each of the filled slices.
  7. Close the lid, squeeze the handles together, and press in the latch.
  8. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the outside of the bread turns golden brown.
  9. If the toasties stick, use a plastic or wooden spatula to release them.

Savory filling ideas

  • Smoked ham and gouda
  • Cheese and onion/celery/apple
  • Chicken (cooked) and mushroom
  • Bacon (cooked) and tomato
  • Peanut butter, basil, and tomato

Sweet filling ideas

  • Apple and cinnamon
  • Apple and raspberries
  • Banana and honey
  • Banana and butterscotch sauce
  • Cherry and almonds

Variations

Use pastry, pizza base, or ciabatta instead of ordinary bread; try garlic or herb butter.

GRILLING (ribbed plates)

  1. Cut the food to be grilled no more than 3/8 inch (10mm) thick.
  2. Wipe the grill plates with a little cooking oil or butter. Don’t use low-fat spread – it may burn on to the grill.
  3. Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers. Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick surfaces.
  4. Close the grill. Don’t use the latch.
  5. Allow time for the food to cook and check for doneness after 5 minutes. Continue to cook until done. Times will vary depending on the type of food.
    Please note: To ensure meat is fully cooked, the USDA recommends: Using a meat thermometer by inserting it into the center of the meat. Make sure it’s not touching bone, fat, or gristle. The safe minimum internal temperature for beef, veal, pork, and lamb (pieces and whole cuts) is 145˚F (63˚C). Then allow the meat to rest for three minutes before cutting or consuming. Ground meat should be cooked to 160˚F (72˚C). Poultry should be cooked to 165˚F (74˚C). Ground meat and poultry don’t require rest time.

WAFFLES (waffle plates)

  1. Prepare the batter.
  2. Pour about 3 Tbsp. (40ml) of the mixture over each half of the bottom plate.
  3. Close the grill. Don’t use the latch.
  4. Grill the waffles until golden brown (check after 3 minutes).
