Meat, poultry, fish and gratin
The cooking times in the table below have been calculated for
use without preheating the oven. The times in the table are
given as a guide and may vary depending on the quality and
nature of the meat.
The weight indications in the table refer to unstuffed oven-ready
birds.
Practical tips for roasting
The roasting results will depend on the type and quality of the
meat concerned.
Turn pieces of meat over halfway through cooking.
Turn the whole bird over after two thirds of the cooking time has
elapsed.
Practical tips for grilling
Ensure the pieces of meat to be grilled are of equal thickness,
where possible. These should be at least between 2 and 3 cm
thick.
The enamel tray should also be inserted at level 1. The tray will
help keep the oven clean by catching any meat juices. The
meat or fish should be turned over after two thirds of the
cooking time has elapsed.
