16.5 Roasting and grilling
Recommended settings for roasting and grilling
The temperature and roasting time depend on the type
and amount of food being cooked. This is why ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time.
Roasting in cookware
If you prepare dishes in cookware, you can remove
them from the cooking compartment more easily and
serve them directly in the cookware. When preparing
food in cookware with a lid, the cooking compartment
remains cleaner.
General information about roasting in cookware
¡
Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡
Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting
with microwaves.
¡
Place the cookware onto the wire rack.
¡
Check in advance whether the cookware fits in the
cooking compartment.
¡
Glass cookware is best.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cook-
ing. The glass may crack if placed on a cold or wet
surface.
¡
The cookware can become very hot. Use oven
gloves to take the cookware out of the oven.
¡
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roas-
ting dishes.
Cookware without lid
Use a deep roasting dish.
Cookware with lid
¡
Use a suitable lid that seals well.
¡
When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm
between the food and the lid as the meat may ex-
pand.
¡
Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a
covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a
glass lid. If necessary, set a higher temperature.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on
the temperature.
▶
Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-
cape away from you.
▶
Keep children away from the appliance.
Notes
¡
Lean meat or pot roast
–
Add liquid to the cookware so that it is approx.
1/2 cm deep, e.g. water, wine, vinegar or similar
liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of
meat, what the cookware is made of and on
whether or not a lid is used.
More liquid needs to be added to enamelled or
dark metal roasting pan than for glass cookware.
Add slightly more liquid for pot roasts.
–
During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will
evaporate. Carefully add liquid as necessary.
–
Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking
time.
