How it works
36
¡
The quantity of liquid depends on the type of meat,
the material the cookware is made from and on
whether or not a lid is used. If you are cooking meat
in an enamelled or dark-coloured metal roasting
dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in
glass cookware.
¡
The liquid in the cookware evaporates as the meat
roasts. Carefully pour in more hot liquid if required.
¡
The distance between the meat and the lid must be
at least 3 cm. The meat may expand.
¡
To braise the meat, sear it first as required. Add wa-
ter, wine, vinegar or similar for the braising liquid.
The base of the cookware must be covered with 1–
2 cm of liquid.
Fish
¡
You do not need to turn whole fish.
¡
Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment
in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing up-
wards.
¡
Placing half a potato or a small ovenproof container
in the stomach cavity of the fish provides stability.
¡
You can tell when the fish is cooked because the
dorsal fin can be removed easily.
¡
When stewing, add two to three tablespoons of li-
quid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the
cookware.
Tips for roasting and braising
Use these tips for good results when roasting and
braising.
Topic
Tip
Lean meat must not dry
out.
¡
Coat lean meat with fat
or oil as required or
cover it with strips of
bacon.
If you want to cook a joint
with rind, proceed as fol-
lows:
¡
Score the rind in a
criss-cross pattern.
¡
Roast the joint with the
rind facing down first.
Keep the cooking com-
partment as clean as pos-
sible.
¡
Cook the food in a
covered roasting dish
at a higher temperat-
ure.
Or:
¡
Use the grill tray. If re-
quired, the grill tray
can be bought later as
an optional accessory.
You want the meat (e.g.
roast beef) to remain hot
and succulent.
¡
When the roast is
ready, switch off the
oven and leave the
meat to rest for
10 minutes in the
cooking compartment
with the door closed.
This helps distribute
the meat juices more
evenly. The resting
time is not included in
the specified cooking
time.
¡
After preparing it, wrap
the food in aluminium
foil.
