Roasting

Selecting the cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given in the cooking chart are for an
oven compartment which has not been
pre-heated.
Determine the cooking duration by
multiplying the thickness of the roast
[cm] with the time per cm [min./cm]
stated below, depending on the type
of meat:
- Beef/Venison: 15–18min./cm
- Pork/Veal/Lamb: 12–15min./cm
- Sirloin joints/Fillets: 8–10min./cm
As a general rule, check whether the
food is cooked after the shortest
duration.
Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Using Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions in the display.
UsingFan Plus orAuto Roast
These functions are suitable for roasting
meat, fish and poultry that needs to be
well browned as well as sirloin joints
and fillet.
In the Auto Roastfunction, the oven
compartment heats initially to a high
searing temperature (approx. 230°C).
As soon as this temperature has been
reached, the oven automatically drops
the temperature back down to the pre-
selected roasting temperature
(continued roasting).
For roasting, use crockery with heat-
resistant handles such as an oven
dish, roasting pan, Römertopf or a
heat-resistant glass dish.
Place the rack with the food on shelf
level1.
UsingMW + Fan Plus orMW +
Auto Roast
These functions are not suitable for
roasting delicate cuts of meat such as
sirloin joints or fillet. The centre would
be too well cooked before the exterior is
browned.
Use the MW + Fan Plusfunction for
rapid reheating and cooking of food
while browning it at the same time. This
function saves the most time and
energy.
Use the MW + Auto Roastfunction
for searing using a high temperature to
start with, then continue cooking with a
lower temperature.
If you use functions which use
microwave power, the cooking
duration is shortened.
When selecting the microwave power
level, observe the information in the
cooking charts and in the recipes.
Dishes must be suitable for use in a
microwave oven, must be heat-
resistant and must not have metal
lids (see “Suitable containers for
microwave use”).
Place the rack together with the glass
tray or the glass tray on shelf level1.
