Preserving
▯
Cook food as soon as possible after purchase or
after it has been harvested/picked/dug up.
Prolonged storage reduces the vitamin content and
means that food is on the verge of fermenting.
▯
Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good
condition.
▯
The oven is not suitable for preserving meat.
▯
Carefully check and clean the preserving jars,
rubber sealing rings, clips and springs.
▯
Place the preserving jars in a heat-resistant vessel
containing water. Make sure that they do not touch.
The water level must reach at least three quarters of
the way up to the top of the contents of the jars.
▯
Once the cooking time has elapsed, open the oven
door. Do not remove the preserving jars from the
cooking compartment until they have completely
cooled down.
▯
Store the preserves in a cool, dark and dry place,
e.g. in a pantry. Once the jars have been opened,
consume the contents quickly and store in the
refrigerator.
Disinfecting
▯
Before you begin preserving the food, the jars
should be disinfected in the oven to prevent the
food from spoiling.This is the only way to ensure
that preserves keep for a relatively long time and
that they can be stored outside of the refrigerator.
▯
Disinfect the empty jars at 100 °C for at least 20
minutes in "Hot air" mode. The lids and rubber
preserving seals for the jars can be disinfected at
the same time in boiling water to avoid them drying
out in the dry heat of the oven.
