Care of Catalytic Liners
Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when
the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.
To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for an
hour or two per week, without food, to ensure continued
good performance from the Catalytic liners.
Hints and Tips
• Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not
recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and
any other abrasives are used.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic
surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.
• Follow the recommendations given to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
Cooking to reduce soilage
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try
cooking to lower temperatures for an increased length
of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more
tender.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat;
potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking, even at
normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing
onto the interior surfaces; removing the covering for the
last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning, if required.
Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this
method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through
before the outside is overbrowned.
Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from the
joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore
prevent it from splattering onto the 'Catalytic' liner.
