Roasting
39
Selecting the cooking duration
Determine the cooking duration by
multiplying the thickness of the roast
[cm] with the time per cm [min/cm]
stated below, depending on the type
of meat:
- beef/venison: 15–18 min/cm
- pork/veal/lamb: 12–15 min/cm
- sirloin/fillet: 8–10 min/cm
Check whether the food is cooked
shortly before the end of the specified
cooking duration.
Tips
- For frozen meat, increase the cooking
duration by approx. 20 minutes per
kg.
- Frozen meat weighing less than
approx. 3.3 kg (1.5 kg) does not need
to be defrosted before roasting.
Notes on the operating modes
A list of all operating modes can be
found in “Overview of operating
modes”.
Use the Bake
operating mode
towards the end of the cooking
duration to brown the base of the
food.
Using Convection Bake
These operating modes are suitable for
roasting meat, fish, and poultry that
needs to be well browned, as well as
roast beef and fillet.
The Convection Bake
operating
mode allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with the
Surround
operating mode, because
the heat is immediately distributed
throughout the oven compartment.
Place the food on shelf level 3.
Place large food, e.g., a turkey, on
level 1 or 2.
Using Surround
Use this operating mode for cooking
traditional recipes. If using an older
recipe or cookbook, set the oven
temperature 50°F (10°C) lower than that
recommended. This will not change the
cooking duration.
Place the food on shelf level 3.
