Tips for roasting and grilling
Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings
Notes
■
The values in the table apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more
on top.
■
Place the bake in microwaveable ovenware on the wire rack.
■
Leave bakes and gratins to cook in the oven for a further
5 minutes after switching off.
■
Use a 4 to 5 cm deep ovenproof dish for bakes, potato
gratins and lasagne.
■
Place soufflés in individual moulds or in a deep ovenproof
dish. Preheat the cooking compartment.
■
Toast with topping: lay 4 slices next to each other in the
centre of the universal pan. Distribute 12 slices evenly over
the universal pan.

The table does not contain information for the
weight of the joint.
For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For
larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to tell when the roast is ready.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon
test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon
can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too
clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
The roast is not well-done enough.
Carve the roast. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast
meat in the gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.
