Ovenware
You may use any heat ­ resistant ovenware. The baking tray is
also suitable for large roasts.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable. The lid of the roasting dish
should fit well and close properly.
Add a little more liquid when using enamelled roasting dishes.
With roasting dishes made of stainless steel, browning is not so
intense and the meat may be somewhat less well done.
Increase the cooking times.
Information in the tables:
Ovenware without a lid = uncovered
Ovenware with a lid = covered
Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass
could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.
Roasting
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid.
Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the
material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an
enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if
cooked in glass ovenware.
Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The
meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher
temperature and/or a longer cooking time.
Tips for grilling
When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 3 minutes, before
placing the food into the cooking compartment.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be
of equal thickness. This will allow them to brown evenly and
remain succulent and juicy.
Turn the food you are grilling after
Z of the time.
Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are
grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing
it in the centre of the wire rack.
Also insert the baking tray at level 1. The meat juices are
collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at
level 4 or 5. The high heat distorts it and the cooking
compartment can be damaged when removing it.
The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal.
The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.
Meat
Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
When cooking is finished, turn the oven off and leave the meat
to rest with the door closed for a further 10 minutes. This allows
better distribution of the meat juices.
When it is cooked, wrap the sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it
to rest for a further 10 minutes.
