Tips

Cover dishes which are to be cooked in their own juice and/or steam, e.g. potatoes or vegetables, so that they do not dry out. If you do not have a lid, use aluminium foil or damp cooking parchment.

Cook without a lid when a crusty finish or topping is required, e.g. for meat or au gratin dishes.

You can also stack one pot on top of another. Invert the lid of the bottom pot and place the top pot on it. Place any dish which needs to be browned on top.

Cooking ready-meals

The Rapid heat-upÄ function can be used on its own for cooking ready-meals (see chart) such as pizza, lasagne, garlic bread, etc.

^Select Rapid heat-up Ä.

^Select a temperature.

^When the temperature indicator light y goes out, place the dish in the pre-heated oven.

You do not need to select another function for cooking.

Observe recommended temperatures, cooking times and position in the oven given on the manufacturer’s packaging.

Only use one level of the oven when cooking ready-meals using this function. If more than one shelf level is required, select Fan plus Y.

Cook frozen desserts and pizza on baking paper on the rack rather than on a baking tray or in the grill pan. Cooking large frozen items on a baking tray or in the grill pan can cause the metal to distort. This distortion would increase with each subsequent use.

Frozen foods such as oven chips or croquette potatoes can, however, be cooked on the baking tray or in the grill pan.
