The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting
dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and
set a higher temperature.
Steam- assisted roasting and braising
Certain dishes become crispier if cooked using steam,
and do not dry out as much.
Use uncovered cookware. Cookware must be heat- and
steam-resistant.
The joints do not have to be turned.
Use steam-assisted cooking if it is indicated in the
settings table. Some dishes turn out best if they are
cooked in several stages. These are indicated in the
table.
Steaming
By contrast to the steam assistance function, the
steaming function cooks the meat particularly gently,
but it does not become crispy on the outside. It remains
very succulent. As an alternative, you can also fry
pieces of meat quickly before steaming; the cooking
time will be reduced.
Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a
longer cooking time. If you are using several pieces
which are the same weight, the heating-up time is
increased, and not the cooking time.
Pieces of meat do not need to be turned.
Use the perforated steam container (size XL) and slide
the universal pan in underneath. You can also use a
glass tray and place this onto the wire rack.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated
shelf position with the wire rack attached. Dripping fat
will be collected. Ensure that the wire rack is positioned
correctly on the universal pan. ~ "Accessories"
on page 12
When grilling very fatty items, do not slide the
Note:
universal pan in directly under the wire rack, but rather
at level 2.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the
wire rack.
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.
Do not add salt to the food until after it has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat.

Notes
The grill element switches itself on and off
■
continuously; this is normal. The grill setting
determines how frequently this occurs.
Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Meat thermometer
You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer.
Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in
the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes
on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating
types and additional information. ~ "Meat
thermometer" on page 24
Recommended setting values
You can find the ideal heating type for many meat
dishes in the table. Temperature and cooking time
depend on the amount, composition and temperature of
the food. Settings ranges are indicated for this reason.
Try using the lower values at first. You can increase the
temperature next time if necessary.
The setting values apply to chilled meat placed into the
cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make
energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the
oven, you can reduce the indicated cooking times by
several minutes.
You can find information on roasts and default values
for weights in the table. If you wish to roast a heavy joint
of meat, you should definitely use a lower temperature.
If roasting several joints, use the weight of the heaviest
piece as a basis for determining the cooking time. The
individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.
As a general rule: the larger a roasting joint is, the lower
the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking
time.
Turn roasting joints and grilled items after approx. ^ to
Z of the indicated time.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you
should use similar dishes as a reference. You can find
additional information in the tips on roasting, braising
and grilling attached to the settings table.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
