COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME
The MULTIFUNCTION oven at positions
or
of the function selector can cook
various different foods at the same time. Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together
without the smells and flavours mixing.
The only precautions required are the following:
•
The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference
of 70-80 °F (20-25 °C) between the different foods.
•
Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cooking
time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable
saving on time and energy.
COOKING ADVICE
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Turn the switch to position or .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 350 °F (175 °C) and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the grill pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars into the grill pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door
and set the thermostat knob to position 260 °F (130 °C).
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.
VENTILATED BROILING
Ventilated broiling may be done by selecting
with the function selector knob; the hot
air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the grill pan as close to the infra-red element
as possible.
Close the door and let the oven operate until broiling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
Broiling with the oven door closed.
Important: Use always suitable protective gloves when inserting/removing the
broiling pan from the oven (see next page).
It is advisable to handle
the oven accessories
using oven gloves.
WARNING
VERY IMPORTANT
WARNING!!
REGENERATION
Turn the switch to position
or
and set the temperature to 300 °F (150 °C).
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
•
the pre-set temperature should be maintained.
•
that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
