WARMING BREAD
Set the switch to position
and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
- that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 °C and 200 °C.
- that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The oven set on position
can cook several different foods together. Foods as
diverse as fish and cakes can be cooked together without the cross transference of
flavours. This is because the fats and cooking smell that would normally be
deposited on the different foods are oxidised and are not absorbed by the foods.
The cooking temperature of the foods, however must be within 20 - 25 °C of each
other. The food with the longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and the
other foods are added as necessary according to their cooking times.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN
As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with
the food on the rack in the oven. The knob should be switched to position
.
The thermostat should be set to 50 °C and 175 °C max and the oven pre-heated.
The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is used. Children
should be kept away.
