COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be preserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a.Set the switch to position .

b.Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.

c.Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

d.Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

Check your recycle book for full instructions.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS

The oven set on position can cook several different foods together. Foods as diverse as fish and cakes can be cooked together without the cross transference of flavours. This is because the fats and cooking smell that would normally be deposited on the different foods are oxidised and are not absorbed by the foods. The cooking temperature of the foods, however must be within 20°-25°C of each other. The food with the longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and the other foods are added as necessary according to their cooking times.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with

the food on rack in the oven. The knob should be switched to position . The thermostat should be set to 175 °C and the oven pre-heated.

The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time. Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180° and 200 °C.

that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible. The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

24Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
