28.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-
ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or
skin-side down.
¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after
approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
¡ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The
grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succu-
lent and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire
rack.
¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cook-
ing compartment at the specified shelf height.
¡ Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, de-
pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col-
lected. This also means that less smoke is pro-
duced and the cooking compartment does not be-
come as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food,
this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

Grilling

Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The "Grill" type of heating is good for cooking thinner
pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drum-
sticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting
bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking
whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork
with crackling.
