THE SMOKE-LESS
CONTACT GRIDDLER
®
DOES IT ALL
The Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
is the ultimate
kitchen appliance, offering you seven separate
cooking options. Simply flip the reversible cooking
plates and adjust the hinge to use as a contact
grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, half grill/
half griddle, or smoke-less grill with independent
temperature controls. See Assembly Instructions
and Operating Instructions.
CONTACT GRILL
Use the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
as a
Contact Grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces
of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.
The Contact Grill function works best when you
want to cook something in a short amount of time
or when you are looking for a healthy method of
grilling. When cooked on the Contact Grill, food
will cook quickly because you are grilling both
sides of the food at the same time. The ribs on the
grill side of the plates, combined with the grease
spout at the rear of the plate, allow the grease to
drip from the meat and drain off the plates.
When the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
is used
as a Contact Grill, the grill side of both plates is
recommended. Rest the cover evenly on top of
the food until it has reached the desired, cooked
temperature.
The Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
was designed
with a unique handle and hinge that allow the
cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You
can easily grill anything from a thinly sliced potato
to a thick sirloin steak with even results.
When cooking more
than one food item in
the Contact Grill, it is
important that the
thickness of each food
item is consistent, so
the cover will close
evenly on the food.
PANINI PRESS
Use the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
as a Panini
Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word panini is Italian for grilled sandwiches.
Panini can include any combination of ingredients,
such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered
between two pieces of fresh-baked bread. The
sandwich is then pressed between two grill or
griddle plates to toast the bread and warm the
sandwich. Experiment to make a variety of
savoury or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We
recommend using fresh-baked bread to produce
the best-tasting panini. Popular breads used for
panini are focaccia (a flat bread frequently baked
with rosemary, salt and onion on top), ciabatta (a
rectangular bread with a slightly domed crust) and
thick slices of classic Italian bread. But any type
of sliced bread or roll can be used to make a great
panini!
When the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
is used
as a Panini Press, the grill side of both plates is
recommended. We recommend the grill side of
the plates because traditional-style panini
sandwiches have grill marks on the bread.
However, depending upon the type of sandwich
you are preparing, you may wish to use the griddle
side of the plates or any combination of the two.
The Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
functions as a
Panini Press in the same manner that it functions
as a Contact Grill. The Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
was designed with a unique handle and
hinge that allow the cover to adjust to the
thickness of the sandwich you are preparing, and
to rest there evenly. Light pressure can be applied
to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to
your liking.
When cooking two or
more panini, it is
important that the
thickness of the
sandwiches is
consistent, so the cover
will close evenly on all
the panini.
FULL GRILL
Use the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
as a Full
Grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not
recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it
does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and
vegetables. Full Grill refers to using the Smoke-
less Contact Griddler
®
in a fully open position,
creating a double flat cooking surface. In this
position, the foods you are grilling will have to be
turned over for cooking. When the Smoke-less
Contact Griddler
®
is used as a Full Grill, the grill
side of both plates should be used.
Cooking on the Full Grill is the most versatile
method of using the Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
.
With the Full Grill, you have double the surface
area (200 sq. inches) for grilling. You have the
option of cooking different types of foods on
separate plates without combining their flavours,
or cooking large amounts of the same type of
food.
The Full Grill also
accommodates
different cuts of
meat with varying
thicknesses,
allowing you to
cook each piece
to your liking.
