Cooking Advice
Sterilization
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:
a. Set the switch to position
.
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the
thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and
let cool.
Regeneration
Set the switch to position
and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes
at the highest temperature.
Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods
With the function selector in position
and
the ventilated oven allows you to cook different types
of food 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 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.
Grilling and “Au Gratin”
Grilling may be done by selecting grill+fan setting
with the function selector knob, because the hot
air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
After having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the grid.
Close the door and let the oven operate until grilling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “Au Gratin” effect.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
