With the PIZZA function you can save time and energy cooking your favorite dishes and
have them turn out as crispy, tasty and golden brown as if cooked in a traditional oven.
Use of the PIZZA key together with the PIZZA dish, allows you to use the grill and
microwave functions simultaneously.
The PIZZA dish features a special coating that absorbs microwaves through its bottom.
It radiates heat from below the food to cook or reheat it, giving it the required color
and crispness while the grill browns the top.
2 cooking methods :
Without preheating - by using the PIZZA function you can cook and brown most
frozen meals and fresh, dough-based dishes without preheating the PIZZA dish.
They turn out as crispy as if cooked in a traditional oven.
With preheating - the PIZZA dish can be preheated using the PIZZA key for a maxi-
mum of 2 minutes. Preheating is recommended to cook or brown small pieces of
meat or fish and some dough-based, frozen and take-out dishes.
Recommendations :
Take foods out of their metallic or plastic packaging before cooking or rehea
ting them with the PIZZA function.
It is advisable to program shorter cooking times and extend if necessary.
All foods with a skin or wrapping, such as potatoes and sausages, must be pierced
before cooking.
Make sure pieces of meat are completely thawed out and dried off before searing
with the PIZZA function.
Keep an eye on the food’s coloring, just as you would with a traditional oven.
Protect your hands when taking out the dish because it can be extremely hot.
Do not serve stuffed foods (apple pastry for example) too quickly because they can
be warm on the surface whereas the filling is extremely hot.
Cooking or reheating of eggs with the PIZZA function is prohibited.
If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with the PIZZA function, allow the
oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning.
