The oven
Low temperature cooking,
max. 125°C.
Set the function control to
control to the required temperature (max. 125°C). The
low temperature method is ideal for food which can be
cooked slowly. When planning your cooking, remember
that it takes longer with this method before the food is
ready.
Joints of beef such as topside and sirloin retain their
natural juices best if roasted at 125°C. Consequently,
the meat does not dry out and lose as much weight as it
does at a higher temperature. Remember to use a meat
thermometer. Note! Meat should never be cooked at
temperatures below 100°C.
Slow cooking at a low temperature breaks down the
carbohydrates into sugar, a process known as 'melt-
ing'. Low temperature cooking is therefore ideal for
dishes such as rice pudding and potato gratin. Set the
temperature control at the lowest temperature. After a
few hours the dish can be cooked as usual when it has
finished 'melting'. Remember to set the oven tempera-
ture to normal and top and bottom heat.
