OVEN COOKING GUIDE

Roasting meat
1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature
between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to
wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to
prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it
easier to clean your oven.)
2. Use the grill/oven dish and grill insert.
Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices
to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of
the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand
for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the
juices when the meat is carved. The table shows
temperatures and cooking times for different
kinds of meat. These may vary depending on the
thickness or bone content of the meat.

quarters of the cooking time.

Grilling Guide
WARNING!
NOTE: Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use.
Excessive fat build-up may cause a fire.
Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:
Beef Tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush with oil or
melted butter, especially if the meat is very lean.
Lamb
Loin chops, short loin chops, chump chops,
and forequarter chops. Remove skin or cut
at intervals to stop curling. Brush with oil or
melted butter.
Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.
Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.
Bacon Remove rind. Grill flat.
Guide to better grilling
Steak 15 - 20 minutes
Chops 20 - 30 minutes
Fish 8 - 10 minutes
Bacon 4 - 5 minutes
No definite times can be given for grilling because this
depends on your own tastes and the size of the food. These
times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn
the food over halfway through the cooking process.
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Preheat grill for at least 5 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less
than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than 40mm
thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this
prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could
result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil
or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated
before cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
and will let juices escape.
Fan Grill
The "Fan Grill" assists the grilling process by circulating
the heat evenly around the food. The recommended
temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.
1. Place the grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven
is still warm.
