Cooking advice

General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• 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.
• Turn the food to brown on both sides.
• 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.
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 (if present),
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 set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimise cooking.
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.

TURBO/CIRCULAIRE
• 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 cooking on two shelves:
• We recommend using two racks (they can
be obtained from Authorised Assistance
Centres).
• To facilitate the flow of air, place the
moulds/ovenware at the centre of the racks
and make sure that their width/diameter
does not exceed 30 cm.
• Position the racks keeping an empty shelf
between them.
• Depending on the type of food and the
increased quantity in the oven, cooking on
two levels may take slightly longer
compared to cooking on a single shelf.
• We suggest using the following functions
when cooking on two shelves: CIRCULAIRE
and CIRCULAIRE+BOTTOM.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their packaging
in a lidless container on the first shelf of the
oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• 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.
