The oven

Using the roasting sensor
A meat thermometer should be inserted so that its tip
comes to the thickest part of the meat, where the heat
takes longest to reach. The entire thermometer should
preferably be inside the meat, because hot air in the
oven can affect its reading if the shaft is exposed. If the
thermometer is inserted into fat or touches bone, it can
give an unreliable temperature reading.
Preheat the oven first, then put the joint in the lower
part of the oven. Remove the joint when the thermom-
eter reaches the required temperature. Cover the meat
with aluminium foil and let it stand for about 15 min-
utes. This will make it easier to carve, and less meat
juices will be lost when carving.
Grilling
Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling, and
even the initial temperature of the meat all affect
the outcome and time of the grilling process. Fish,
poultry, veal and pork will not brown as much as the
darker meats such as beef and game. Vegetable oil
and/or seasoning will improve the colour, but it also
increases the risk of surface burning.
For best results, avoid grilling food straight from
the refrigerator. Dry the surface of the meat, place it on
the oven shelf and season to taste. Place an oven dish,
ideally lined with foil, underneath the shelf to catch the
fat etc. which runs off. Pork chops, steaks and fish
should be grilled high up in the oven, while meats such
as thick spare ribs are better lower down.
Set the function control to and the temperature
control to the temperature required. preheat the grill
for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the food, and turn it
at least once. Grilling for too long makes food dry,
dull, and possibly burnt as well. The oven door should
be closed when grilling.
Browning (swift start)
Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sand-
wiches, etc. You can also use this function to heat the
oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven
has reached that temperature, you can then select
whichever function is required. It takes about 8 min-
utes to reach 200ºC. However, do not use this method
of rapid heating when baking biscuits or meringues.
