COOKING GUIdE

Roasting Meat

1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature
between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to
wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to
prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier
to clean your oven.)
2. Use the grill / oven dish and smokeless grill insert.
Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven,
wrap in aluminum foil and leave to stand for about 10
minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is
carved. The table shows temperatures and cooking times
for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending
on the thickness or bone content of the meat.

WARNING
Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up
may cause a fire.
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.
Note: Below is a table indicating the door position whilst
grilling for each of the product types.

Guide to better grilling

No definite times can be given for grilling because this
depends on your own tastes and the size of the food.
These times should only be used as a guide and remember
to turn the food over half way through the cooking process.
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Remove oven/grill dish and smokeless grill insert and
preheat grill for about 3 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less
than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than
40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside
remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this

prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could

result in a fire.

4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or
marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before
ajar
cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface

Fan Grill (Multifunction grill in oven models only)
If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist
the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around
the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C
for all fan grilling functions.
1. Use the smokeless grill insert and oven dish for all
fan grilling.
2. Position the dish in the lower half of the oven, for best results.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is
still warm.
There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked
at the same time which means that the food is succulent.
