Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes.

Baking may result in the formation of water vapour, which escapes above the door. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adja- cent units. This is a natural process.

Meat, poultry, fish

Ovenware

The universal pan with insert wire rack is suitable for large roasts. You may also use any heat-resistant ovenware.

Glass ovenware is the most suitable. Ensure that the lid of the roasting dish fits well and closes properly.

Add a little more liquid when using enamelled roasting dishes.

With roasting dishes made of stainless steel, browning is not so intense and the meat may be somewhat less well cooked. Increase the cooking times.

Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack.

Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

Roasting

The joints of meat should weigh between 500 g and 2 kg.

Ensure that you always use the lower temperature, if the weight of the joint you wish to roast is high.

If there are several pieces of meat, calculate the roasting time using the weight of the heaviest piece of meat. The individual pieces of meat should be approximately the same size.

Meat

When using the % Top/bottom heating and 4 Circulated air grilling types of heating, turn the pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.

When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.

When roasting joints of pork with a rind, make cuts in the rind crossways and if it is to be turned, first place the joint with the rind side down in the dish.
