Tips on baking
Roasting
Oven function: Conventional
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable
to use for roasting. (Please read the
manufacturer's instructions.)
• For all lean meats, we recommend
roasting these in a roasting tin or
dish with a lid. The meat will be more
succulent.
• All types of meat, that can be browned
or have crackling, can be roasted in a
roasting tin or dish without a lid.
3 Tips on using the Roasting Table
The information given in the following ta-
ble is for guidance only.
• We recommend cooking meat and fish
weighing 1kg or more in the oven.
• To prevent meat juices or fat from burn-
ing onto the ovenware, we recommend
adding some liquid.
• If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3
of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with their
juices several times during roasting. This
will give better roasting results.
• You can switch the oven off
about 10 minutes before the end of the
roasting time, in order to utilise the resid-
ual heat.
