Roasting
62
Selecting the cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given in the cooking chart are for an
oven compartment which has not been
pre-heated.
The traditional British method for
calculating the roasting time is to
allow 15 to 20minutes per
lb/450grammes, according to type of
meat, plus approx. 20minutes,
adjusting the length of time as
roasting proceeds to obtain the
required result. The roasting time can
also be determined by multiplying the
thickness of the roast [cm] with the
time per cm [min/cm] stated below,
depending on the type of meat:
- Beef/venison: 15–18min/cm
- Pork/veal/lamb: 12–15min/cm
- Sirloin/fillet: 8–10min/cm
As a general rule, check the food
after the shortest duration.
Tips
-
For frozen meat, increase the cooking
duration by approx. 20minutes per kg.
- Frozen meat weighing less than
approx. 1.5kg does not need to be
defrosted before roasting.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Use the Bottom heatfunction
towards the end of the cooking duration
to brown the base of the food.
Do not use the Intensive
bakefunction for roasting as the
juices will become too dark.
UsingAutomatic programmes
Follow the instructions in the display.
UsingFan plus orAuto roast
These functions are suitable for roasting
meat, fish and poultry that needs to be
well browned as well as sirloin joints
and fillet.
The Fan plusfunction allows you to
use a lower temperature than you would
with the Conventional heatfunction,
because the heat is immediately
distributed around the oven compartment.
In the Auto roastfunction, the oven
compartment heats initially to a high
searing temperature (approx. 230°C).
As soon as this temperature has been
reached, the oven automatically drops
the temperature back down to the pre-
selected roasting temperature
(continued roasting).
Place the food in shelf level2.
UsingMoisture plus
Use this function for cooking with
moisture assistance.
Place the food on shelf level2.
UsingConventional heat
Use this function for baking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than the recommended
one. This will not change the cooking
duration.
Place the food in shelf level2.
UsingEco Fan heat
Use this function for cooking smaller
roasts or meat dishes while saving energy.
Place the food in shelf level2.
