You can also use the roasting dish or the lid separately, for example as an ovenproof dish. Unlike with cooking on the hob, you can select the exact slow-roast or fast-roast temperature. Always ensure the oven door is closed when roasting. Only open the door for a short time to turn, stir or baste, otherwise the temperature will not be kept constant. In the roaster function, the heating element continues to heat up for some time after the oven door is opened. Braising in the roasting dish Braising is the combination of searing meat in a little fat followed by slow stewing. The cast iron design of the roasting dish ensures excellent even heat distribution. The non-stick coating enables you to use very little fat and, therefore, cook healthy, low-calorie dishes. Insert the heating element for roasting. Insert the roasting dish into the pull-out system in the lowest shelf position in the oven. Close the oven door. Select the "roaster function" and the desired temperature. The temperature can be set to a maximum of 220 °C in the roaster function. Wait until the heating-up indicator switches off before putting food in the roasting dish. Sear the food without the lid for a short time. Deglaze with sufficient cooking liquid. Place the lid on the roasting dish and leave the food to stew at the desired temperature. Roasting in the roasting dish Insert the heating element for roasting. Insert the roasting dish into the pull-out system in the lowest shelf position in the oven. Close the oven door. Select the "roaster function" and the desired temperature. The temperature can be set to a maximum of 220 °C in the roaster function. Wait until the heating-up indicator switches off before putting food in the roasting dish. We recommend using the core temperature probe, which automatically turns off the oven once the food reaches the desired level of cooking. Caution! Only use the core temperature probe when cooking without the lid. Searing function Only for oven models with roaster function: In the searing function, the oven heats up at full capacity for approx. 3 minutes. You can use this function to sear steaks, for example. Opening the door turns off the searing function. Do not use the lid when cooking in the searing function. You can find the instructions for activating the searing function in the instruction manual for your oven. Use as an ovenproof dish The roasting dish can also be used as an ovenproof dish. To do this, place the roasting dish on the second shelf from the bottom of the pull-out system. Select the "top + bottom heating" function. Select the desired temperature up to a maximum of 220 °C. Tips and tricks The non-stick coating enables you to roast using very little fat. If you are preheating the roasting dish in the oven, only add the fat just before roasting. Tip: Instead of adding the fat to the roasting dish, oil the meat. This ensures a direct heat transfer. Cooking liquids reduce down quickly. Make sure there is always sufficient cooking liquid. For a cooking time of approx. 30 minutes, add approx. . l liquid. When roasting in a sauce, always ensure the sauce remains runny and add cooking liquid. Cleaning and maintenance Caution! Remove the heating element, pull-out system and roasting dish from the cooking compartment during pyrolysis cleaning. The high temperatures during pyrolysis cleaning damage the non-stick coating. The non-stick coating allows most dirt to be removed with hot, soapy water and a soft brush. Soak stubborn dirt deposits in soapy water. Never use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents, grill or oven sprays, sponges with scratchy surfaces, or sharp objects to clean the roasting dish. These can damage the non-stick coating. Do not clean the roasting dish in the dishwasher. Store the roasting dish with the lid on correctly, not upside down in the roasting dish. Otherwise, you will scratch the non-stick coating.
