Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as 65-70°C. Medium Well Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. 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 70-75°C. 11 Hints for Best Results for Toasting Sandwiches Bread Most types of bread can be used, white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. The sandwich press is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, bagettes as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker. Fillings Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off 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 unique flat design makes the sandwich press ideal for toasting plain breads and Turkish bread, without any fillings or spreads. Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast. Fat Free Snacks Due to the non-stick flat plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks. 12 Care, Cleaning and Storage Before cleaning, switch the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug. Allow your Healthsmart® Grill & Press to cool before cleaning. Always clean your Healthsmart® Grill & Press after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods. For baked on food residue squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue then clean with a non abrasive plastic scouring pad. NOTE Do not use spray-on nonstick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates. Storage To store your Healthsmart® Grill & Press: 1. Slide the Height control clip towards the front handle to the LOCK position so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together. Store on a flat, dry level surface. Cleaning the Drip Tray Remove and empty the drip tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface. Alternatively the drip tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Durable Non-stick Coating Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier. Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the grill and will not affect the cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. [. . . ] Pour over the lemon and honey sauce over the hot skewers.
