COOKING ADVICE
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in
full and hermetically sealed jars, is done
in the following way:
a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position
185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan
making sure they do not touch each
other and the door and set the ther-
mostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.
REGENERATION
Set the switch to position and the
thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with
a few drops of water and put into the
oven for about 10 minutes at the highest
temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is neces-
sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS
The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position
and
gives simultaneous
heterogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapours
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.
The only precautions to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the
different foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference of
20° - 25 °C.
– The introduction of the different dishes
in the oven must be done at different
times in relation to the cooking times of
each one.
The time and energy saved with this type
of cooking is obvious.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.
