How to Operate the Oven
General information on
baking, roasting and broiling
A
DANGER:
Risk of scalding by hot steam!
Stand away from the range when opening
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face, and/or
eyes.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Tips for baking
•
Use non-stick coated appropriate
metal plates or aluminum containers or
heat-resistant silicone moulds.
•
Make best use of the space on the
rack.
•
It is recommended to place the baking
mould in the middle of the rack.
•
Select the correct shelf position before
turning the oven or broil on do not
move oven shelves when hot.
•
Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
•
Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
•
Seasoning with lemon juice and black
pepper will improve the cooking
performance when cooking a whole
chicken, turkey or a large piece of
meat.
•
Meat with bones takes about 15 to
30 minutes longer before it is cooked
than a roast of the same size without
bones.
•
You should calculate about 4 to 5
minutes cooking time per centimeter
height of the meat.
•
Let meat rest in the oven for about 10
minutes after the cooking time. The
juice is better distributed all over the
roast and does not run out when the
meat is cut.
•
Fish in a fire-resistant dish should be
placed on the rack at the medium or
lower level.
Tips for broiling
Broiling is ideal for cooking meat, fish and
poultry and will achieve a nice brown sur¬
face without it drying out to much. Flat
pieces, meat skewers and sausages are
particularly suited for broiling as are vege¬
tables with a high water content such as
tomatoes and onions.
•
Distribute the pieces to be broiled on
the wire shelf.
•
If the broiling is on the wire shelf,
locate a dripping pan under it in order
to collect the fat.
•
Add some water in dripping pan for
easy cleaning.
