GRILLING AND COOKING “AU GRATIN”
Grilling may be done without the roasting jack on position
of the switch, because
the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply
place the food on the rack.
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and
fats.
Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on position
175 °C
, until
grilling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Remember to keep children away from the appliance when you use the grill
or oven, since these parts become very hot.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes
with the door closed
.
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.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
To avoid possible smoking during grilling, it is advisable to add a little water to the grill
pan.
The water can be topped up during grilling as evaporation takes place.
DO NOT
grill food containing fat without using the grid.
DO NOT
cover the grill pan grid with aluminium foil, as this can stop fats draining
away and could possibly cause the fat to catch fire.
The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.
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.
