Roasting Meat
• You can use the grill tray and grill tray insert for
roasting meat in the oven.
• Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature
between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to
wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to
prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier
to clean your oven.)
• Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to
escape.
• When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the
oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to stand for
about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when
the meat is carved.
The table shows temperatures and cooking times for
different kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the
thickness or bone content of the meat.
