Pizza; Roast; Convection Roast; Broil - Bosch HBL84 Use And Care Manual

Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the
upper and lower elements is
2
circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
• When baking a frozen pizza:
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to
prevent crust formation.
• Sprinkle corn meal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with corn meal for ease in transferring the dough to the
pan.
• If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer's
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the
center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza.
• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.

Roast

Roast uses both the upper and lower
elements to maintain the oven
temperature. Roasting uses more
%
intense heat from the upper element
than the lower element. This results in
more browning of the exterior while
the inside remains especially moist.
Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender
cuts of meat.
Tips:
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in
this mode.
• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from
2
the top and bottom elements as well
as heat circulated by the convection
fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for
roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
-- As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
modes.
-- Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for
examples.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
termperature of the meat.
• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat
to prevent overbrowning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes
after removing it from the oven.
• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for
recommended rack positions.

Broil

(
Broil uses intense heat radiated from
the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door
closed. The benefits of broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
