Roasting Meat
1. Place the meat in the oven and set the
temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is
recommended to wrap your meats in an oven
roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils
from splattering, making it easier to clean
your oven.)
2. Use the grill / oven dish and smokeless grill
insert. Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices
to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to
stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved. The table
shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending
on the thickness or bone content of the meat.
Roasting poultry and fish
1. Place the poultry or fish in an oven set at a
moderate temperature of 180°C.
2. Place a layer of foil over the fish for about
three quarters of the cooking time.
The table shows temperatures and cooking
times for different kinds of fish and poultry.
These may vary depending on the thickness or
bone content of the meat.
