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 to be cooked for a few more
minutes.
Slow cooking with the probe
• This cooking mode is recommended for
tender and lean meat whose core
temperature should not exceed 65°C.
Set the temperature of the oven to
between 90° and 100°C. This
increases the cooking time, but maintains
the quality of the food and prevents an
excessive reduction in its volume.
• For a better result, before slow cooking,
brown the meat in a pan over high heat
for 1 or 2 minutes on each side.
Advice for cooking with the 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 with grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
Use
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• For best results when using the Grill
function, we recommend that you set it to
the maximum temperature.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries 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.
• When cooking on multiple levels, food
should ideally be positioned on the
second and fourth shelf. Increase the
cooking time by a few minutes and only
use fan functions.
• 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.
• The cooking time for meringues and
choux pastry will vary depending on the
size.
