Roasting - AEG COMPETENCE B8920-1 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Roasting

Use the rotitherm or conventional oven functions for roasting.
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting (refer to the manufac-
turer's instructions!).
• If the dish has plastic handles, check that they are heat-resistant (re-
fer to manufacturer's instructions!).
• Large roasts can be roasted directly on the universal baking tray or
on the shelf with the universal baking tray underneath (e.g. tur-
key, goose, 3-4 chickens, 3-4 knuckles of veal).
• We recommend that all lean pieces of meat should be roasted in a
casserole dish with a lid (e.g. veal, marinated beef, pot roast, frozen
meat.) In this way the meat will retain its juices.
• In order to obtain a tasty outside crust we recommend roasting piec-
es of meat in a casserole dish without a lid (e.g. roast pork, lamb
and mutton, meat loaf, duck, 1-2 knuckles of veal, 1-2 chickens, small
fowl, roast beef, fillets, game).

Tip: The oven will be less dirty if you always use a dish for roasting!
Shelf positions
• Please see the following table for the shelf positions to be used.

Notes on the roasting table
Information is given in the table on suitable oven functions, tempera-
ture settings, cooking times and shelf positions for various types of
meat. The information is for guidance.
• We recommend roasting meat and fish with a minimum weight of
1kg in the oven.
• In general the conventional oven function is particularly suitable for
very lean meat such as fish or game. For all other types of meat (par-
ticularly poultry) we recommend the rotitherm function.
• To stop meat juices or fat burning onto dishes or the oven, we recom-
mend adding a little water to the roasting dish.
• Turn the joint as required (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).

Tip: Baste large joints and poultry several times during cooking with
the meat juices. This will produce better roasting results.

Switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time to make use of the residual heat.
