29.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡
The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-
ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡
Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or
skin-side down.
¡
Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after
approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
¡
The meat probe allows you to cook with absolute
precision. Please take note of the important informa-
Calculating the cooking time, e.g. 20+35:
¡
To calculate the cooking time, assume 20 minutes
per 500 g of meat. Then add an extra 35 minutes to
that figure.
¡
For 1.5 kg, the cooking time would therefore be
95 minutes.
Cooking time range, e.g. 10-15:
¡
Your food will be ready within the specified range of
time (in minutes).
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
¡
Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The
grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succu-
lent and juicy.
¡
Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire
rack.
¡
To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cook-
ing compartment at the specified shelf height.
¡
Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, de-
pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col-
lected. This also means that less smoke is pro-
duced and the cooking compartment does not be-
come as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food,
this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.
General information about roasting in cookware
¡
Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
¡
Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡
Glass cookware is best.
¡
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roast-
ing dishes.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
¡
Use a deep roasting dish.
¡
If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can
use the universal pan.
Roasting in covered cookware
¡
Use a suitable lid that seals well.
¡
When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm
between the food and the lid. The meat may ex-
pand.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on
the temperature.
▶
Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-
cape away from you.
▶
Keep children away from the appliance.
Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The "Grill" heating function is good for cooking thinner
pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drum-
sticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting
bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking
whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork
with crackling.
¡
When grilling several food items, choose pieces that
are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled
food will brown evenly and will remain succulent
and juicy.
¡
Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire
rack.
¡
To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan into the cooking compartment at least
one level below the wire rack.
Notes
¡
The grill element switches on and off continuously.
This is normal. The grill setting that you use determ-
ines how frequently this occurs.
¡
Smoke may be produced when grilling.
29.4 Cooking instructions for ready meals
¡
The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of
the food. Pre-browning and irregularities are some-
times already present on the raw product.
¡
Do not use frozen products that are covered with a
thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
¡
Distribute foods that are in the form of separate
pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so
that they are spread out flat and evenly on the ac-
cessory. Leave a little space between the individual
pieces.
¡
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pack-
aging.
29.5 Steaming
Cook dishes gently. The food remains particularly suc-
culent.
In contrast to steam-assisted cooking, the meat does
not become crispy on the outside.
¡
Use open, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable
for cooking with steam.
¡
The perforated steam container (size XL) is the best
option here. To catch any liquid that drips down,
slide in the universal pan one level below in the
cooking compartment.
You can also use a glass tray and place this onto
the wire rack.
¡
Cover food that can normally be cooked in a water
bath, with film, e.g. with cling film.
¡
You do not need to turn the food.
