ROASTING
Use Fan Grill to roast whole chicken.
●
For other meats use Bake for a succulent juicy flavoursome roast. If your model does
●
not have a Bake function, use Fan Forced.
Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
●
Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature
●
of 75°C.
For crispy crackling first sear the Pork at a high temperature, then lower the
●
temperature to complete the cooking.
If multi-shelf cooking (eg if roasting meat on one shelf and vegetables on another) use
●
Fan Forced.
Cook larger cuts of meat for longer at a lower temperature. The meat will cook more
●
evenly.
Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.
●
Always rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
Remember the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the
oven.
Shelf Position Guide
Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the centre of the oven or lower.
GRILLING
This is a healthier alternative to frying.
●
Always grill with the oven door completely shut.
●
If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
●
the grill.
To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
●
meat halfway through cooking.
Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
●
marinade the meat before grilling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
Where possible grill cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will ensure
●
even cooking.
Always keep a close watch on your food while grilling to avoid charring or burning.
●
Shelf Position Guide
For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
●
Thicker cuts of meats should be grilled on lower shelves or at a lower grill setting to
●
ensure even cooking.
REHEATING
Use Bake or Fan Bake to reheat food.
●
Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
●
bacteria.
Never reheat a food more than once.
●
Note: any condensation that forms during the cooking process will collect in the drip
●
channel, below the door. This may be mopped up using a sponge once the oven has
cooled.
