Roasting

Oven function: Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking

 or 

Rotitherm Roasting

Roasting dishes

Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable for roasting. (Please read the 
manufacturer's instructions.)

Large roasting joints can be cooked 

directly in the tray or on the 

shelf with the tray placed below 

For all lean meats, we recommend 

roasting these in a roasting tray 

with a lid.

 This makes the meat more succulent.

All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be 
roasted in the 

roasting tin without the lid.

Tips on using the roasting chart

The figures in the following table are for guidance only.

We recommend cooking meat and fish 

over 1 kg in weight

 in the 

oven.

To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, 
we recommend placing some water in the roasting pan.

Turn the meat as required (after about 1/2 - 2/3 of cooking time).

Baste large roasting joints and poultry several times during the cook-
ing time. This will give better roasting results.

Switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes prior to the end of the cook-
ing time in order to use the residual heat.
