Roasting and braising
Here, you can find information on roasting and braising
poultry and meat. You can find the ideal settings for
many dishes in the settings tables.
Poultry
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of
the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck
breasts.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or
the skin side is underneath at first.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you
baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter,
salted water or orange juice.
Meat
Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with
strips of bacon.
Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when
cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.
When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to
rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better
distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary.
The recommended resting time is not included in the
cooking time indicated.

Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
Next time, use the universal pan.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to
expand well and brown on all sides.
Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or
extend the baking time.
Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking
time.
Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back
wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
Always select 4D hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or
in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around
the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet
cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Roasting on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very
crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well
suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the
same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to
litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat
^
and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a
sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke
is generated, and the cooking compartment stays
cleaner.
Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with
the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and
the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the
universal pan in at the shelf position underneath with
the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Roasting and braising in cookware
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in
cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking
compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare
the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass
cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is
damp or cold, the glass may crack.
