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 approx. 1-2 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.
Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting
dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and
set a higher temperature.
Grilling flat pieces
Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks,
drumsticks and burgers, can be prepared well using the
"Grill" heating type. Excellent results are also achieved
when grilling toast.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition,
slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position
lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Any dripping fat will be caught.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the
wire rack.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If
you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out
and it will become dry.
Do not add salt until after the meat has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat.
Notes
■The grill element switches itself continuously on and
off; this is normal. The grill setting determines how
frequently this occurs.
■Smoke may be produced when grilling.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for your
poultry, meat and fish, in addition to toast. Temperature
and cooking time depend on the quantity, composition
and temperature of the food. Settings ranges are
indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at
first. You can use a higher setting next time if
necessary.
The setting values are based on the assumption that
unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat and fish
are placed into a cold cooking compartment.
In the table, you can find specifications for poultry, meat
and fish with default values for the weight. If you wish to
prepare heavier poultry, meat or fish, use the lower
temperature in every case. If roasting several joints, use
the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for
determining the cooking time. The individual pieces
should be approximately equal in size.
A general rule: the larger the poultry, meat or fish is, the
lower the cooking temperature and the longer the
cooking time.
Turn the poultry, meat and fish after approx.^ to Z of
the indicated time.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
Cooking time calculation (e. g. 20+35):
Please calculate the cooking time with 20 minutes per
500 g meat + 35 minutes additional time. For 1,5 kg
the calculated cooking time would be 95 minutes.
Cooking time range (e. g. 10-15):
The food is done within the stated minutes.
