Roasting joints
• Allow all joints to sit at room temperatu-
re for at least 1 hour before roasting.
Remove any excess fat to prevent smoke
and smells.
• Wherever possible use earthenware
rather than glass dishes (less spitting) big
enough to contain the joint easily.
• Do not sprinkle with salt before cooking
as this dries the meat out.
• Add a few tbsp of warm water to the
roasting dish to prevent the juices burning.
• Cooking time
Beef joint (rare) from 10 to 15 min for
500g.
Pork roast from 35 to 40 minutes for 500g
Veal roast from 30 to 40 minutes for 500g.
• After removing from the oven, wrap the
joint in kitchen foil and leave to recover for
10 to 15 mins. The meat will be more
succulent and tender and the meat a uni-
form colour.
• Grilling meat : Drizzle with a thin layer
of oil. Avoid pricking red meat and use a
spatula or tongs to turn over.
• Prick poultry skin under the wings so the
juices can run out without spitting.
• When cooking times are long, turn the oven off 5 to 10 minutes before the end and use the residual heat to finish the dish.
Several dishes (similar or different) can be cooked at the same time without any contamination of smell or taste, provided they require
•
the same temperature. The dishes cooked can require different lengths of cooking. The cooking times shown in the table for each dish
should be extended by 10 to 20 minutes.

USING THE OVEN
• Choosing your cake tin:
Avoid bright shiny tins:
•They require longer cooking times.
•The oven has to be pre-heated.
Use non-stick tins for flans, pies and
quiches. These give crisper golden pastry
on the base.
• Tip:
Even if your tins are non-stick, use
baking parchment to protect them. It
makes it easier to turn flans etc. out. Use
it too to line enamelled tins to protect the
coating from fruit acids.Always add yeast
last and avoid contact with salt, which will
destroy the yeast's properties.
When you use the fan feature we
recommend that you reduce cooking tem-
peratures by 30-50ºC compared with a
conventional oven and extend the cooking
time by 5 to 10 minutes.

Cooking vegetables
• When preparing a dish topped with
layered potatoes, pre- cook the sliced
potatoes in water or milk.
• To peel peppers, place them under a hot
grill turning frequently until the skin
bubbles. Pop into a plastic bag for a few
minutes and the skin will peel away easily.
• When stuffing tomatoes, slice off one
end and scoop out the pulp and pips. Salt
the inside and leave to drain on a grid
before stuffing.
• Drain cooked leeks and chicory tho-
roughly before coating with a sauce (ham
or béchamel) otherwise the cooking liquid
will water down the sauce.
• Mix grated cheese with breadcrumbs for
a topping that is brown and crispy.
