The recommended resting time is not included in the
cooking time indicated.
Fish
Fish cooked whole does not have to be turned. Place
the whole fish into the cooking compartment in
swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards.
Placing half a potato or a small oven-proof container in
the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.
You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal
fin can be removed easily.
Roasting on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very
crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well
suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the
same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to
^ litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat
and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a
sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke
is generated, and the cooking compartment stays
cleaner.
Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with
the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and
the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the
universal pan in at the shelf position underneath with
the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Roasting in cookware
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in
cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking
compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare
the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass
cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is
damp or cold, the glass may crack.
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. A covering of
approx. ^ cm depth should be applied to the base of
any glass cookware.
The quantity of liquid is dependent on the type of meat,
the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid
is used. If preparing poultry, meat or fish in an
enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a
little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or
aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore
not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly
and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature
and/or a longer cooking time.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your
roasting cookware.
Uncovered cookware
Use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting meat. Place
the tin/dish onto the wire rack. If you do not have any
suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
Covered cookware
When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking
compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that
the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware
onto the wire rack.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at
least 3 cm. The meat may rise.
Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after
cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam
can escape away from you.
If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add
water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising
liquid. A covering approx. 1-2 cm deep should be
applied to the base of the cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting
dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and
set a higher temperature.
Roasting in combination with a microwave
Certain foodstuffs can be prepared in combination with
a microwave. The cooking time is considerably reduced
by doing so.
As opposed to conventional operation, the cooking time
is based on the total weight when roasting in
combination with a microwave.
Tip: If you have quantities other than those indicated in
the settings tables, the following basic rule applies:
double the quantity equates to roughly double the
cooking time.
Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for
use in microwaves. Roasting dishes made from metal
or Römertopf dishes are only suitable for roasting
without using the microwave. Observe the notes on
cookware suitable for microwaves. ~ "Microwave"

Caution!
If you use an oven bag, do not seal it shut with metal
clips. Use kitchen string. Do not use metal skewers for
roulades. Sparks may form as a result.
Grilling flat pieces
Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks,
drumsticks and burgers, can be prepared well using the
"Grill" heating type. Excellent results are also achieved
when grilling toast.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with
the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and
the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the
universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with
the slanted edge facing the appliance door. Any
dripping fat will be caught.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
