We recommend heat resistant ovenware (up to
300 ºC) made from glass or glass ceramic. Roasting
dishes made of stainless steel are not ideal. Their
shiny surface reflects a high proportion of the thermal
radiation. The food will not brown as much and the
meat will be less well cooked. If you use a
stainless steel roasting dish, remove the lid once the
programme has finished. Grill the meat at grill
setting 3 for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. If you use
roasting dishes made from enamelled steel, cast iron
or die cast aluminium, the food will brown more. Add
a little more liquid.
Ovenware made from light, shiny aluminium or
unglazed earthenware, and ovenware with plastic
handles is not suitable.
The meat should cover about two thirds of the base.
This will ensure that you get good meat juices.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at
least 3 cm. The meat may rise up during the roasting
process.
You can use fresh or frozen meat. We recommend
fresh chilled meat.
Select a suitable roasting dish.
Weigh the fresh or frozen meat, poultry or fish. You
will find detailed information in the corresponding
tables. You need the weight in order to set the
programme.
Season the meat. Season frozen meat in the same
way as fresh meat.
Many dishes require the addition of liquid. If this is
the case, add enough liquid to the dish so that there is
approx. ½ cm covering the base of the dish. If the
table specifies "a little" liquid, 2 3 tablespoons is
usually sufficient.
Cover the ovenware with a lid. Place it on the wire
rack at level 2.
