Roasting and grilling

Ovenware

You may use any heat

resistant ovenware. Always place the

ovenware in the middle of the wire rack. The enamelled baking
tray is also suitable for large roasts.

Optimum grilling surface

You will achieve the best results if you use the grill zone.

Roasting tips

■

A a lower temperature produces more even browning.

■

Depending on the size of the joint, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of
liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 tablespoons of liquid to pot
roasts.

■

When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the
underside of the wings to allow the fat to run out.

■

Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste
it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted
water or orange juice.

■

Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.

■

When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest
for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to
distribute themselves better inside the roast.

■

When roasting large pieces of meat, you may find that the
amount of steam and condensation on the oven door is more
than usual. This is a normal occurrence which has no effect
on the oven's performance. Once roasting is complete, dry
the oven door and window with a cloth.

■

If you are roasting on the wire rack, insert the enamelled
baking tray into shelf position 1 to collect the drips of fat.

Grilling tips

■

If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. They
should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This ensures that they
brown evenly while also remaining succulent.

■

Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack.
Pour a little water into the enamelled baking tray and insert
this into the shelf position underneath the grill to collect the
drips of fat. Never place it on the cooking compartment floor.

■

Drizzle some oil over the food to be grilled before you place it
on the wire rack under the grill.

■

If the food to be grilled is thin, turn it over halfway through
grilling; if it is thick, turn it over several times during grilling.
Use tongs when turning the food to avoid piercing it and, in
the case of meat, to keep the meat juices inside the meat.

■

Dark meats such as lamb and beef brown better and more
quickly than light meats such as pork and veal.

Tips on using the rotary spit

■

Place the joint as centrally as possible on the rotary spit and
secure it at both ends with the retaining clips.

■

You can also truss the joint with string. With poultry, bind the
ends of the wings underneath the back and the thighs
against the body. This prevents them from overbrowning.
Pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat
to escape.

Notes on tables

Temperature and cooking time depend on the amount and
composition of the food.
For model HG72G2054M:

The bottom of a fruit flan is too light.

Place the cake one level lower the next time.

The fruit juice overflows.

Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one.

Small baked items made out of yeast
dough stick to one another during bak-
ing.

There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for
the baked items to expand and turn brown on all sides.

Condensation forms when you bake
moist cakes.

Baking may create water vapour, which escapes above the door. The steam may settle
and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a
natural process.
