Roasting
Oven function: Conventional or Rothitherm
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 table is for guidance only.
• We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing 1kg or more in the
oven.
• To prevent meat juices or fat from burning 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 residual heat.
