Roasting and braising on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very
crispy on all sides.Roasting on the wire rack works
particularly well for large poultry or for multiple pieces at
the same time.
Add up to 1/2 litre of water to the universal pan,
depending on the size and type of meat. Any dripping
fat and meat juices will be caught. You can make a
sauce from these juices. This will also result in less
smoke being produced and keep the cooking
compartment cleaner.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated
shelf position with the wire rack on top. Ensure that the
wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan.
Roasting and braising in cookware
:Warning – Risk of injury from shattering glass!
Place hot glass cookware on a dry mat after cooking.
The glass may crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after
cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam
can escape away from you.
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in
cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking
compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare
the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware that is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
It is best to use glass cookware. Place hot glass
cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. The glass may
crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.
When roasting poultry and other meat, add a little liquid.
The liquid in the cookware evaporates as the meat
roasts. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or
aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore
not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly
and does not brown so well. Use a higher temperature
and/or a longer cooking time.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting
dishes.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
It is best to use a deep roasting dish for roasting poultry
and meat. Place the dish onto the wire rack. If you do
not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
Braising in covered cookware
Cooking with covered cookware keeps the cooking
compartment considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid
fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto
the wire rack.
The distance between the meat and the lid should be at
least 3 cm, as the meat may expand.
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot
steam can escape away from you.
To braise the meat, sear it first as required. Add water,
wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid.
Cover the bottom of the cookware with at least 2 cm of
liquid.
The liquid in the cookware evaporates as the meat
roasts. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Grilling flat items
Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks,
drumsticks and burgers, can be cooked effectively
using the "Grill" heating function. It is also excellent for
toasting bread.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition,
slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position
lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Any dripping fat will be caught.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the
wire rack.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If
you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out
and it will become dry.
Do not add salt to the meat until it has been grilled. Salt
draws water from the meat.
Notes
■ The grill element switches itself continuously on and
off; this is normal. The set temperature determines
how frequently this occurs.
■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
Meat thermometer
Depending on your appliance's features, you may have
a meat thermometer. You can cook accurately using a
meat thermometer. Read important notes on using the
meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There,
you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer,
the possible heating types and additional information.
Recommended setting values
The table lists values for poultry, meat and fish, with
default values for the weight.
The setting values are based on the assumption that
unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat or fish is
placed into a cold cooking compartment.
If you wish to cook heavier poultry, meat or fish, always
use the lower temperature. If cooking more than one
item, use the weight of the heaviest item as a basis for
determining the cooking time. The individual pieces
should be approximately the same size.
As a general rule: The larger the poultry, meat or fish,
the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the
cooking time.
Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. ^ to Z of
the time listed.
