ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary
to remember:
•
that it is advisable to maintain a
temperature between 180 and 200°C.
•
that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning
the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The dripping pan should be placed under
the rack to catch the cooking juices and
fats.
Grilling MUST be done with the oven
door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation. Keep children
away.
GRILLING AND COOKING AU
GRATIN
The grill can be used without the rotisserie
when the function switch is in position
because hot air can flow all around the
food that is cooking.
Turn the thermostat to a setting between
40°C and no higher than 200°C
and, once
the oven is preheated, simply place the
food on the grill.
Close the door
and let the oven operate
with the thermostat on, until grilling is
complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end
of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
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.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS
The oven set on position
gives
simultaneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and meat
can be cooked together without mixing the
smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapors
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.
The only precautions to follow are:
•
The cooking temperatures of the
different foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference
of 20- 25°C.
•
The introduction of the different dishes
in the oven must be done at different
times in relation to the cooking times of
each one. The time and energy saved
with this type of cooking is obvious.
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.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time.
CAUTION: When the grill is on, some
parts may become hot. Keep children
away.
CAUTION: The parts outside the oven
become very hot when the oven is on.
Keep children well out of reach.
