COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Turn the switch to position
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 350 °F (175 °C) and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the grill pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars into the grill pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door
and set the thermostat knob to position 260 °F (130 °C).
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– the pre-set temperature should be maintained
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME
The MULTIFUNCTION oven at positions
various different foods at the same time. Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together
without the smells and flavours mixing.
The only precautions required are the following:
– The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference of
70-80 °F (20-25 °C) between the different foods.
– Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cook-
ing time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable
saving on time and energy.
VENTILATED BROILING AND "AU GRATIN"
Broiling may be done by selecting
tor knob, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the temperature if a temperature different from the pre-set one is required.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the grill pan as close to the infra-red ele-
ment as possible.
Close the door and let the oven operate until broiling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden "au
gratin" effect.
Broiling with the oven door closed.
Important: Use always suitable protective gloves when inserting/removing the
broiling pan from the oven (see next page).
