Making Preserves - AEG COMPETENCE B5741-4 User Information

Making preserves

Oven function: Pizza Setting
• For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the
same size.
• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not
suitable.
• When making preserves, use the first shelf position from the bot-
tom.
• Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for
up to six 1-litre preserving jars.
• The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
• Place the jars on the shelf in such a way that they are not touching
each other.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the shelf, so that there is suffi-
cient moisture in the oven.
• As soon as the liquid in the first jars starts to simmer (after approx.
35-60 minutes for 1 litre jars), switch off the oven or adjust the tem-
perature to 100°C (see table).
