– You can use any heat-resistant crockery.
Place crockery in the middle of the grid.
You can also use the universal pan for large
roasts. After removing glass crockery, pace it on a
dry kitchen cloth or grid. Do not place it on a cold
or wet support surface. The glass could crack.
– You are advised to use dark metal baking forms.
You may also use light baking forms in the hot air
mode. In this case, the baking time is longer.
– The values in the cooking tables apply to the
preheated oven.
The temperature and duration depend on the
quantity and consistency of the dough.
This is why the tables list temperature ranges. You
are advised to begin with the lowest temperature
the first time. If required, set it higher the next
time. Remember: a lower temperature ensures
more even browning.
– If you want to bake according to your own
recipes, orientate yourself to similar recipes in
the table.
To find out if your cake mixture has baked
properly, insert a wooden stick at the highest
point of the cake around 5-10 minutes before
expiry of the baking time specified in the recipe.
The cake is ready if dough no longer sticks to
the wood.
Moist baked and roasted food may produce
abundant steam. Briefly and carefully open the
oven door once or twice and allow the steam to
escape. This will ensure that dripping water will
not spoil your oven or your built-in furnishings.
– The result of roasting depends on the type and
quality of the meat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of
liquid to lean meat. Depending on the size, add
8 to 10 tablespoons to pot roasts. Turn large
roasts after half of the roasting time.
– Always grill in the closed oven. If possible, grilled
pieces should be equally thick, at least 2 to 3 cm.
When this is the case, they will brown evenly
and will stay nice and juicy. Never grill steaks
salted!
Place pieces for grilling directly on the grid.
Poultry becomes particularly crispy brown if you
coat it with butter, salt water, dripped-off fat or
orange juice.
– At 38 °C, even sensitive frozen food is thawed
gently and fast. Place the frozen food on the
gridiron and turn the "Mode" control knob to the
"Ferment" position. Use the grill pan to collect the
liquid from thawing.
– If you only want to grill one piece of meat, place it
in the middle of the grid for best results. Place the
universal pan on the first level.
This ensures that the juices of the meat are
collected and the oven stays clean.
Turn grilled pieces after two-thirds of the time
specified in the tables.
– You might notice that the grill element goes on
and off automatically during the grilling time. This
is normal. The number of times it switches itself
on and off depends on the cooking level you have
chosen.
– In the case of duck or goose, pierce the skin
under the wings to allow the fat to drain off.
