Low temperature cooking
Low temperature cooking is ideal for
cooking delicate cuts of beef, pork, veal
or lamb when a tender result is desired.
First sear the meat all over at a high
temperature on the hob in order to seal
it.
Then place the meat in the pre-heated
oven compartment where the low
temperature and long cooking duration
will cook it to perfection and ensure it is
very tender.
The meat will relax. The juices inside
will start to circulate evenly throughout
the meat to reach the outer layers.
This gives very tender and succulent
results.
Use lean meat which has been
correctly hung and trimmed. Bones
must be removed before cooking.
For searing, use a suitable cooking oil
or fat that can withstand high
temperatures (e.g. clarified butter,
vegetable oil).
Do not cover meat during cooking.
The cooking duration takes approx.
2–4 hours depending on the weight
and size of the meat and how well you
want it cooked.
As soon as the cooking programme is
done, you can carve the meat straight
from the oven. It does not need to
rest.
The meat can be left in the oven
compartment to keep warm until you
serve it. This will not affect results in
any way.
Serve on pre-heated plates with very
hot sauce or gravy to prevent it
cooling down too quickly. The meat is
at the ideal temperature for eating
straight away.
Using Conventional heat
Take a look at the information in the
cooking charts at the end of this booklet.
Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it.
Switch off the
Booster
function for the
pre-heating phase.
Place the rack together with the
universal tray on shelf level 2.
Select the
Conventional heat
function and a temperature of 120 °C
without the
Booster
function.
Pre-heat the oven together with the
universal tray and rack for approx.
15 minutes.
Whilst the oven compartment is pre-
heating, sear the meat thoroughly on
all sides on the hob.
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven compartment
or accessories.
Use oven gloves when placing food
in the oven or removing it and when
working in the hot oven
compartment.
Place the seared meat on the rack.
Reduce the temperature to 100 °C
(see “Cooking charts”).
Continue cooking until the end of the
cooking duration.
