Broiling, Using the Broil modes | Fisher & Paykel OS302, OD302

Thick pieces of meat take longer to cook than thin pieces of the same weight. Meat cooks by absorbing heat from the outer surface to the middle. The thicker the meat the longer it will take to cook.

Roasts containing bones cook more quickly than boneless or rolled roasts due to the bone conducting heat throughout the meat. Stuffed roasts will take longer to cook.

Selecting the cooking time for your roast depends on your personal preference. Meat taken straight from the refrigerator will take longer to cook.

Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear.

Roasting is a method of cooking meat that uses dry heat. Don’t add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect.

Vegetables are excellent cooked on Roast. Clean and cut them into large chunks, coat lightly with oil, season and place in a single layer on the greased glass tray. Select Roast using the oven mode dial and 340°F (175°C). Place in the oven on a shelf in position eight. Cook for

35 – 45 minutes, depending on size and type of vegetable, until golden brown and tender. Vegetables can be placed on the Broiling system, around meat if they are going to take approximately the same length of time to cook. Longer than about two hours will over cook the vegetables so put them in the oven part way through cooking a large piece of meat. The vegetables will brown more slowly if they have missed the initial searing stage of the Roast mode so allow plenty of time to cook them thoroughly, up to two hours at 320-340°F (150- 175°C).

Broiling

Your AeroTech™ oven gives you a choice of Broil , MaxiBroil and AeroBroil . For many meats broiling is considered to be a healthier alternative to frying. Broiling is a relatively quick method of cooking foods producing superior flavor and is also a great way to cook vegetables. Carry out all broiling with the oven door completely closed.

When using AeroBroil the upper elements are on and the hot air is circulated around the oven by the oven fan. AeroBroil is suitable for foods that you might normally pan fry, barbecue or rotisserie, for larger cuts of meat and whole chickens.

Using the Broil modes

1Place food on top of the broiling rack, grid and pan.

2Select the shelf position you want to Broil at - see the Cooking Charts for suggested shelf positions, times and temperatures.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

Hot steam may be produced when using Broil, Maxi Broil or AeroBroil modes.

Take care when opening the oven door and always use oven mitts or pot holders to handle hot cooking utensils.

Failure to do so could result in burns or scalds.
