Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan
assisted “ mode:
•
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
•
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
•
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
•
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
•
When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and
4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas
in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10
minutes.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
