Arranging ovenware

As far as possible, distribute the ovenware over the entire surface. It takes longer to warm through tall stacks of plates than individual pieces of ovenware, e.g. 2 serving dishes.

Drinks containers

Warning

At setting 3 or 4, the drinks containers will get very hot and may cause serious injury.

How long does preheating take

The length of time required for preheating depends on the material the ovenware is made of and its thickness, as well as the quantity, height and arrangement of the ovenware. As far as possible, distribute the ovenware over the entire surface.

It takes approximately 15-25 minutes to preheat dinnerware for 6 people.

Switching off

Open the drawer. Switch off the function selector.

Removing ovenware

Remove ovenware from the drawer using oven gloves or an oven cloth.

Warning

Risk of burning!

Keeping food warm

Do not fill the ovenware to such an extent that food spills over.

Cover the food with a heat-resistant lid or aluminium foil.

It is recommended that you do not keep food warm for longer than an hour.

Suitable foods: The appliance is suitable for keeping meat, poultry, fish, sauces, vegetables, side dishes and soups warm.

Slow cooking

Slow cooking is the ideal cooking method for all tender pieces of meat which are to be cooked rare or very rare. The meat remains very juicy and turns out as soft as butter. Advantage: this gives you flexibility when planning meals, since the cooking times for slow cooking are generally longer. Slow-cooked meat can be kept warm easily.

Suitable ovenware: Use ovenware made out of glass, porcelain or ceramic and with a lid, e.g. a glass roasting dish.

Method

1. Preheat the warming drawer containing the ovenware at setting 4.
2. Rapidly heat a little fat in a pan. Sear the meat over a high heat and then place it directly in the warmed ovenware. Place the lid on top.
3. Put the ovenware with the meat back in the warning drawer and complete the cooking. Set the function selector to setting 3.

Notes on slow cooking

Only use high-quality, fresh meat for this. Carefully remove sinews and fat. Fat develops a strong, distinct taste during slow cooking.

The meat should not be turned even if it is a large joint.

You can cut the meat immediately after slow cooking. It is not necessary to leave the meat to stand.

This particular cooking method always leaves the inside of the meat medium rare. However, this does not mean that it is raw or not properly cooked.

Meat that has been slow-cooked is not as hot as meat that has been cooked conventionally. Serve the sauce very hot. Place the plates in the warming drawer for the last 20-30 minutes.

Turn the oven back to setting 2 after slow cooking in order to keep the slow-cooked meat warm. You can keep small pieces of meat warm for up to 45 minutes, and large pieces for up to two hours.

Table

All tender joints of beef, pork, veal, lamb, game and poultry are suitable for slow cooking. Searing and braising times depend on the size of the piece of meat. The times for searing refer to the meat being placed in hot fat.

Meal Searing on the hotplate Completing in the oven

Small pieces of meat

Cubes or strips 1-2 minutes all over 20-30 minutes

Small cutlets, steaks or médaillons 1-2 minutes per side 35-50 minutes

Medium-sized pieces of meat

Fillet (400-800g) 4-5 minutes all over 75-120 minutes

Saddle of lamb (approx. 450g) 2-3 minutes per side 50-60 minutes

Lean joint (600-1000g) 10-15 minutes all over 120-180 minutes

Large pieces of meat

Fillet (from 900g) 6-8 minutes all over 120-180 minutes

Roast beef (1,1-2kg) 8-10 minutes all over 210-300 minutes
