Roasting and braising
Here, you can find information on roasting and braising
poultry and meat. You can find the ideal settings for
many dishes in the settings tables.
Poultry
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of
the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck
breasts.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or
the skin side is underneath at first.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you
baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter,
salted water or orange juice.
Meat
Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with
strips of bacon.
Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when
cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.
When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to
rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better
distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary.
The recommended resting time is not included in the
cooking time indicated.
Roasting on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very
crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well
suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the
same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to
^
litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat
and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a
sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke
is generated, and the cooking compartment stays
cleaner.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated
shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that
the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal
pan.

"Accessories" on page 11
Roasting and braising in cookware
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in
cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking
compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare
the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass
cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is
damp or cold, the glass may crack.
Add in a little liquid for roasting if the meat is lean. A
covering of approx.
^
cm depth should be applied to
the base of any glass cookware.
The amount of liquid is dependent on the type of meat,
the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid
is used. If preparing meat in an enamelled or dark metal
roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if
cooked in glass cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or
aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore
not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly
and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature
and/or a longer cooking time.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your
roasting cookware.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
It is best to use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting
poultry and meat. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack.
If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the
universal pan.
Braising in covered cookware
When preparing food with covered cookware, the
cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner.
Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place
the cookware onto the wire rack.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at
least 3 cm. The meat may rise.
Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after
cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam
can escape away from you.
If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add
water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising
liquid. A covering at least 2 cm deep should be applied
to the base of the cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Steam- assisted roasting and braising
Certain dishes become crispier if cooked using steam,
and do not dry out as much.
Use uncovered cookware. Cookware must be heat- and
steam-resistant.
The joints do not have to be turned.
Use steam-assisted cooking if it is indicated in the
settings table. Some dishes turn out best if they are
cooked in several stages. These are indicated in the
table.
Steaming
By contrast to the steam assistance function, the
steaming function cooks the meat particularly gently,
but it does not become crispy on the outside. It remains
very succulent. As an alternative, you can also fry
pieces of meat quickly before steaming; the cooking
time will be reduced.
Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a
longer cooking time. If you are using several pieces
which are the same weight, the heating-up time is
increased, and not the cooking time.
Pieces of meat do not need to be turned.
Use the perforated steam container (size XL) and slide
the universal pan in underneath. You can also use a
glass tray and place this onto the wire rack.
