¡
The meat probe allows you to cook with absolute
precision. Please take note of the important informa-
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.
¡
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.
26.4 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.
¡
For a different flavour, you can sear the meat,
poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking
time.
¡
Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and
a longer cooking time.
¡
If you are using several pieces which are the same
weight, the appliance's heating-up time is increased.
The cooking time remains the same.
¡
In the main part of the instruction manual, you can
find information on how to set the steam function.
Vegetables on several levels
You can easily cook more than one type of food or
even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on two
Rice or cereals
¡
Add water or liquid in the indicated ratio.
For example, this means 1:1.5 for 100 g of rice,
150 ml liquid.
26.5 Cooking frozen products
¡
Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
¡
Remove any ice.
¡
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
26.6 Cooking ready meals
¡
Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡
If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in
cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-res-
istant.
