General information on baking, roasting
and grilling
DANGER:
Be careful when opening the oven door as
steam may escape.
Exiting steam can scald your hands, face
and/or eyes.
Tips for baking
•
Use non-stick coated appropriate metal plates or
aluminum containers or heat-resistant silicone
moulds.
•
Make best use of the space on the rack.
•
It is recommended to place the baking mould in
the middle of the rack.
•
Select the correct shelf position before turning
the oven or grill on - don’t move oven shelves
when hot.
•
Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
•
Seasoning with lemon juice and black pepper will
improve the cooking performance when cooking
a whole chicken, turkey or a large piece of meat.
•
Meat with bones takes about 15 to 30 minutes
longer before it is cooked than a roast of the
same size without bones.
•
You should calculate about 4 to 5 minutes
cooking time per centimeter height of the meat.
•
Let meat rest in the oven for about 10 minutes
after the cooking time. The juice is better
distributed all over the roast and does not run out
when the meat is cut.
•
Fish in a fire-resistant dish should be placed on
the rack at the medium or lower level.
Tips for grilling
Grilling is ideal for cooking meat, fish and poultry and
will achieve a nice brown surface without it drying out
to much. Flat pieces, meat skewers and sausages are
particularly suited for grilling as are vegetables with a
high water content such as tomatoes and onions.
•
Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire
shelf.
•
If the grilling is on the wire shelf, locate a
dripping pan under it in order to collect the fat.
•
Add some water in the dripping pan for easy
cleaning.
Foods that are not suitable for grilling carry
the risk of fire. Only grill food which is
suitable for intensive grilling heat.
Do not place the food too far in the back of
the grill. This is the hottest area and fatty
food may catch fire.
Tips for making preserves
•
Glass jars must not touch each other, since they
might crack.
•
Put a maximum of 6 glass jars on the dripping
pan.
•
Preserve fruit and vegetables separately.
