Gourmet Plate; Use - Miele TX2070 Operating Instructions Manual

Use

The Gourmet plate gets extremely
hot when in use. Always use oven
gloves when handling it to avoid
burns. Place it on a suitable heat-
resistant mat or pot rest.
Before using for the first time
Before using the Gourmet plate for the
first time, fill it with 400 ml water and
add 30-40 ml vinegar or lemon juice.
Heat for 5 minutes on 450 W + Grill x.
The Gourmet plate has an easy-to-
clean anti-stick coating so that food
can be removed easily. The coating
is susceptible to cuts and scratches.
Therefore do not cut food up directly
on the plate.
Use wooden or plastic utensils to
mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp
objects can damage the coating.
Searing / Browning food
Because food does not stick to the anti-
stick coating, only very little fat or oil is
necessary when cooking with this dish.
Never leave the Gourmet plate
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
^ When using the Gourmet plate, make
sure that the food is ready to transfer
to the Gourmet plate as soon as it
has heated up.
^ Place the Gourmet plate directly on
the turntable.
Do not place it on the rack. Make
sure there is a gap of approx. 2 cm
between the Gourmet plate and the
interior walls of the appliance,
otherwise sparking could occur and
damage the Gourmet plate and the
oven interior.
^ Heat up the plate on 450 W + Grill
x for approx. 5 minutes.
Do not overheat the empty Gourmet
plate, otherwise the coating could
be damaged. Do not place the plate
under the rack to catch dripping fat
when grilling.
If using oil, you can either heat up the
oil on the Gourmet plate, or you can
heat the oil separately and then add it
to the plate.
Butter, however, should always be
added to the Gourmet plate after
heating up. It has a lower burning point
than oil and would get too dark or burn
if added too soon.
Always dry meat, poultry, fish and
vegetables thoroughly before placing
them on the Gourmet plate.
Do not use the Gourmet plate to
cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs.
The eggs may explode.
