Oven cooking guidelines
Roasting
Use the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied with the range when roasting, elevating the
meat on a metal roasting rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the meat, giving a more
even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie. A suitable roasting rack can be purchased
through your DCS by Fisher & Paykel dealer or Customer Care.
When roasting larger items like a whole turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
Use a meat thermometer to accurately determine the doneness of meat.
Broiling
Always broil with the oven door closed. If you open the oven door to check the food, have it
open for as short a time as possible. This is to prevent the control panel from overheating.
Use both the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied. The grid helps to reduce smoking and
splatter by letting grease drip into the bottom of the pan, away from intense heat. To prevent
food sticking, spray the grid with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.
Use a meat thermometer to accurately determine the doneness of meat.
Choose a suitable shelf position. To ensure that meat is cooked through rather than just
browned on the outside, broil thick pieces of meat and poultry on shelf positions 2 or 3. Use
shelf position 4 for thinner items that need less cooking time like steaks, chops, or hamburger
patties.
When finishing off meals by browning the top under the broiler, use metal or glass-ceramic
bakeware. Do not use heatproof glass or eartenware, as these cannot withstand the intense heat
of the broiler.
Center the item in the oven, so that it is directly under the broiler.
Proofing dough
Heatproof glass bowls are best for proofing, as you can gauge the increase in size without
having to open the oven or remove the cover.
To lock in or increase moisture during proofing, cover the bowl with a damp dish towel.
Defrosting
To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven mode to BAKE or

and set the
temperature to WARM . Once thawed, cook the food immediately and do not refreeze.
To prevent liquid from thawing food dripping on the oven floor, be sure any uncooked food is
tightly wrapped in foil and/or placed in a container.
