Z the estimated time.
Turn pieces of meat such as turkey pieces or turkey breasts
over after half the cooking time has elapsed. Turn the pieces of
poultry after

If cooking duck or goose, prick the skin below the wings to
release the fat.
The birds can be made brown and crunchy if they are smeared
with butter, brine or orange juice more or less at the end of
cooking time.
If grilling directly on the shelf, place the enamel tray on level 1.
Fish
Turn the fish pieces after

Whole fish do not need to be turned over. Bake whole fish in

for baking into the abdomen of the fish.
To cook fish fillets, add a few tablespoons of liquid when
cooking.
If grilling directly on the shelf, place the enamel tray on level 1.

The table does not contain information
for the weight of the joint.
Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”.
Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be
pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast is too dark and the crackling
is partly burnt.
Check the shelf height and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are
burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are
too clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use less liquid.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through
the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on
the fronts of adjacent units.
