Do not run burners directly under roasts. Cooking should be indirect and only the outside burners should be run. Always include 1-2 trays of water under the hood regardless of what type of meat you are cooking, it will prevent the roast from drying out.When using the rotisserie, remove plates and grills and place foil trays underneath to catch the fat – it will save a lot of cleaning up !

Only turn once and allow the steak to “rest” for the a few minutes before serving

• Rare: depends on thickness, but generally a few minutes each side – the meat should feel “really soft” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
• Medium rare: when moisture is visible, turn the steak, cook other side until moisture is visible – should feel “soft” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
• Medium: the meat should feel “springy” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
• Medium well: the meat feels “firm” when you press it with the back of the tongs.
• Well done: the meat feels “very firm” when you press it with the back of the tongs.

If cooking individual pieces of fish, eg. Ocean Trout and Atlantic Salmon , always place the fillet "Skin side up" on the hotplate first. It can then be turned once to finish cooking through, but generally for only half the time for the second side.
