COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, 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”

Grilling may be done without the roasting jack on position of the switch, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.

Set the thermostat to position 175°C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the rack. Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermo- stat on position 175°C, until grilling is done. 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.

 

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