Page 52: Steam Cooking
Steam cooking Vegetables Fresh vegetables Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut up. Frozen vegetables Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand unless the vegetables have been frozen together in a block. To cook frozen vegetables, programme the same time as for fresh ones. - Page 53 Steam cooking Settings Automatic programmes > Vegetables > ... Oven function > Steam cooking Temperature: 100 °C Duration: see chart The durations given in the charts for fresh vegetables are guidelines only.

Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat and game. Before and after defrosting Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft. - Page 77 Special applications Useful tips Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes should be enough. When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc.

Roasting We recommend roasting with Combi mode Fan Plus and Combi mode Conventional Heat. Please ensure that the grease filter is fitted. Never roast frozen meat as it will dry out. Defrost it beforehand. You do not need to pre-heat the oven for roasting. The prepa- red meat is placed in a cold oven. - Page 105 Roasting Combi mode The lower the temperature in the oven compartment, the longer the cooking process and therefore the more tender the result. Roast the meat on the rack with the universal tray underneath. This will catch any juices and these can be used later to make gravy or a sauce.

Page 113: Baking Tips
Baking Baking tips Cakes, pizzas and chips should be cooked until golden, not dark brown. Remove the grease filter from the back wall. Otherwise results can be uneven (Exception: Flans with a deep, fresh fruit filling, e.g. plums or damsons, pizza with lots of topping). Baking tins Dark-coloured tins are best for baking. - Page 114 Baking Frozen food When baking deep frozen products such as chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging. Cook large frozen items e.g. cakes, pizzas and baguettes on baking paper on the rack. Baking large frozen items on the baking tray or the universal tray can cause the metal to distort to such an extent that the tray cannot be taken out of the oven.
