the oven will usu ally toast both sides of the food at once. To enable
this ensure you use the high rack and set the temperature between
220 - 230°C / 428 - 446°C ac cord ing to personal taste.

hint - roasting:
when roasting increase the cooking time and reduce the temperature by approximately 10% when cooking marinated meats. For larger
pieces of meat use the extender ring. Remember that cooking time may vary depending on cut size and degree of meat doneness desired. Consult the cooking
guide for guidelines. Place a piece of kitchen foil at the bottom of the oven so it gathers excess fat and enables the bowl to be cleaned more easily.
hint - grill & BBQ:
When barbecuing or grilling ensure all items are placed on the high rack and the temperature is set between 220°C - 240°C. It is
important to select the thickness of the food when selecting the cooking times: for example, a 4cm thick steak will take longer to cook than a 2cm thick steak.
Also, consider that frozen foods such as burgers, sausages, etc. are likely to require a longer cooking time. To ensure an even colour you may wish to turn your
food during the grilling process.
