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
CONV.BAKE
(convection cooking with ventilation).
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.
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.
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME
The MULTIFUNCTION oven at positions
CONV.BAKE
(convection cooking with
ventilation) 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.
VENTILATED BROILING
Broiling may be done by selecting
CONV.BROIL
(Ventilated Broiling) with the function
selector knob, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the temperature if a temperature different from the pre-set one is required.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the broiling pan as close to the infra-red
element as possible.
Close the door and let the oven operate until broiling is done.
Broiling with the oven door closed.
Important: Always use 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.
