Notes on using the roasting
charts
The data for the recommended function
is printed in bold.
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given are for an oven which has not
been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven, shorten durations by up to
10 minutes.
Temperature 
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart. If higher
temperatures are used, the meat will
brown on the outside, but will not be
properly cooked through.
When cooking with Fan plus ,
Moisture plus  or Auto roast 
select a temperature approx. 20°C
lower than for Conventional heat .
For cuts which weigh more than 3 kg,
select a temperature approx. 10 °C
lower than that given in the roasting
chart.
Roasting will take longer at the lower
temperature, but will be more even.
When roasting on the rack, set a
temperature approx. 10 °C lower than
for roasting in an oven dish.
Pre-heating
Pre-heating is generally only required
when roasting beef sirloin joints and
fillet.
Roasting duration 
The traditional British method for
calculating the roasting time is to allow
15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes,
according to type of meat, plus approx.
20 minutes, adjusting the length of time
as roasting proceeds to obtain the
required result. The roasting time can
also be determined by multiplying the
thickness of the roast [cm] with the time
per cm [min/cm], depending on the type
of meat:
– Beef/venison: 15–18 min/cm
– Pork/veal/lamb: 12–15 min/cm
– Sirloin/fillet: 8–10 min/cm
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest duration quoted.
Shelf level 
As a general rule, use shelf level 2.
