Grilling

Notes
All the values given are guidelines and can vary
■
depending on the properties of your food.
Rinse meat in cold water and dab it dry with kitchen
■
towel. Do not add salt to the meat until it has been
grilled.
Always close the door when grilling on the wire rack
■
and do not preheat.
Dish
Neck steaks approx. 2 cm thick
Grilled sausages
Fish steak*
Fish, whole,* e.g. trout
Bread (pre-toasting)
Toast with topping
* Grease the wire rack first with oil.

Combined grill and microwave

Notes
Use the wire rack and place the cookware on it.
■
Use a deep dish when roasting. This will help keep
■
the cooking compartment clean.
Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
■
Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep
containers and browns more on top.
Check that your cookware fits in the cooking
■
compartment. It should not be too big.

Tested for you in our cooking studio
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of
thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer
times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of
poultry or meat several times.
Place the wire rack on the glass tray so that this
■
catches the meat juices.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling.
■
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run
out and it will become dry.
Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than
■
lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When
grilling light-coloured meat or fish fillets, these often
only brown slightly on the surface, although they are
cooked and juicy on the inside.

Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes
■
before carving it. This allows the meat juices to be
distributed evenly so that they do not run out when
the meat is carved.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the
■
appliance for a further 5 minutes after the appliance
has been switched off.
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the
■
food after the shorter time specified.
