Cooking
Whole fish are ready when the eyeballs
are white and the dorsal fin is easily
pulled out.
Roasted, steamed or grilled fish is
cooked when the flesh comes away
easily from the bones.
If cooking fish fillets in a sauce, use
less liquid than usual, as the fish will
release juices as it cooks.
Notes on using Automatic
programmes and the food probe *)
When cooking fish with a food probe,
ensure that it reaches a core
temperature of at least 70 °C.
The metal end of the food probe must
go fully into the flesh in the thickest part
of it. The end of the probe must be
pointing upwards at an angle. Large
fish with plenty of flesh on them are
suitable for cooking with the food
probe.
Season fish to taste and dot with butter
before putting it in the oven.
If you are cooking several fish or pieces
of fish together, select ones that are
similar in size. Insert the food probe into
the largest fish.
You can also cook fish wrapped in
aluminium foil or in roasting bags. Fish
can also be baked in a salt crust.
Simply insert the tip of the food probe
through the foil or bag.
When using the food probe you will be
given an estimated cooking duration.
This will fluctuate during the course of
cooking.
*) the food probe is supplied with some
ovens depending on model.
