Grilling flat pieces
Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks,
drumsticks and burgers, can be prepared well using the
"Grill" heating type. Excellent results are also achieved
when grilling toast.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated
shelf position with the wire rack attached. Dripping fat
will be collected. Ensure that the wire rack is positioned
correctly on the universal pan.

Note:
When grilling very fatty items, do not slide the
universal pan in directly under the wire rack, but rather
at level 2.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the
wire rack.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If
you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out
and it will become dry.
Do not add salt to the meat until after it has been
grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.
Notes
■
The grill element switches itself on and off
continuously; this is normal. The set temperature
determines how frequently this occurs.
■
Smoke may be produced when grilling.
Meat thermometer
You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer.
Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in
the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes
on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating
types and additional information.

Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for your
poultry, meat and fish, in addition to toast. Temperature
and cooking time depend on the quantity, composition
and temperature of the food. Settings ranges are
indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at
first. You can use a higher setting next time if
necessary.
The setting values are based on the assumption that
unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat and fish
are placed into a cold cooking compartment.
In the table, you can find specifications for poultry, meat
and fish with default values for the weight. If you wish to
prepare heavier poultry, meat or fish, use the lower
temperature in every case. If roasting several joints, use
the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for
determining the cooking time. The individual pieces
should be approximately equal in size.
A general rule: the larger the poultry, meat or fish is, the
lower the cooking temperature and the longer the
cooking time.
Turn the poultry, meat and fish after approx.
^
to
Z
of
the indicated time.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
