[. . . ] Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. Grill The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present) gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. Fan-assisted bottom The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. · It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). Advice for cooking meat · Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. · Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill · Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. · With the Fan-assisted grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling. · We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack. · With the Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value near the symbol to optimise cooking. Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits · Use dark metal moulds: they help to absorb the heat better. · The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. · To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked. · If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. Advice for defrosting and proving · Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. · To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. · The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil. · For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven. 43 EN Use To save energy · Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used.
