M Chef
Adapting existing recipes to
M Chef functions
The M Chef functions offer more
settings than with conventional cooking
functions.
The settings should be adapted to suit
the food if you are using an M Chef
function.

Oven function

The M Chef functions are a combination
of M Chef technology and conventional
methods of heating.
 Use the M Chef function with the
heating type that equates to the
conventional heating type for your
recipe (e.g.
M Chef + Fan Plus
instead of Fan Plus

Temperature

 Because of the short cooking durations
with M Chef functions, the temperature
should be set 20 °C higher than you
would set it for a conventional function
(e.g. 200 °C with
Heat  instead of 180 °C for
Conventional Heat
Grilling functions are the exception
here, where the temperatures are the
same.

Gourmet Units

 For guidance, check the number of
Gourmet Units used in a comparable
recipe in the Dialog oven cookbook.
 With M Chef functions you do not set
any Gourmet Units, just the
temperature.
 Check the food at regular intervals. If
the food has been cooked to your
liking, take a note of the number of
Gourmet Units required.

This way you will get a feel for how
many Gourmet Units are needed for
cooking different types of food.
With double the amount of ingredients
for fish and seafood you need approx.
1.5 times the number of Gourmet
Units, and for gratins and vegetables
you need approx. 1.25 times
the number of Gourmet Units.
When cooking meat we recommend
using the food probe.

Intensity

 For guidance, check the Intensity
setting used in a comparable recipe
in the Dialog oven cookbook and see
"M Chef - How it works" for more
information.

Duration

Depending on the type of food being
cooked, durations with M Chef
functions are shorter than with their
corresponding conventional functions.
 Check whether the food is done after
about half the time it would take to
cook with a conventional function.
If necessary, cook it for a little longer.

Shelf level

 In general use Shelf level 2.
Position the food centrally on the rack
or baking tray. This will ensure even
cooking results.
