Tips for roasting and grilling
Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings
If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, the universal pan
should also be inserted at level 1. This keeps the oven cleaner.
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
How well cooked the bake is will depend on the size of the dish
and the height of the bake. The figures in the table are only
average values.
Preprepared products
Observe the instructions on the packaging.
If you line the accessories with greaseproof paper, make sure that
the paper is suitable for these temperatures. Make sure the paper
is a suitable size for the dish to be cooked.
The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-
browning and irregularities can sometimes even be found on the
raw product.
The table does not contain information for
the weight of the joint.
Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time.
How to tell when the roast is ready.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”. Press
down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it
needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast is too dark and the crackling is
partly burnt.
Check the shelf height and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are
burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are
too clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use less liquid.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through
the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on the
fronts of adjacent units.
