Low-temperature cooking

Low-temperature cooking is the ideal cooking method for cooking all tender pieces of meat which are to be cooked medium rare or “à point”. The meat remains very juicy and turns out as soft as butter. Since the times for low-temperature cooking are considerably longer, you have plenty of leeway for menu planning. Meat that is cooked at a low temperature is easy to keep warm.
Note the recommended settings.

Tips for low-temperature cooking
This is where you will find tips for achieving good results when cooking at a low temperature.

Only use fresh, good-quality meat. Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge. Fat develops a strong, distinct taste during low-temperature cooking.
Even larger pieces of meat do not need to be turned. You can cut the meat immediately after low-temperature cooking. No standing time is required.
Due to the special cooking method, the meat always looks pink on the inside. This does not mean, how-ever, that the meat is raw or not well done enough.
Meat that is cooked at a low temperature is not as hot as conventionally roasted meat. Ensure that the sauces are very hot when you serve them. Place the plates in the appliance in the last 20-30 minutes.
If you want to keep meat that is cooked at a low temperature warm, select 60 °C.
Small pieces of meat can be kept warm for up to 45 minutes and large pieces for up to 2 hours.

Starting the “Low-temperature cooking” function

Only use suitable cookware made from glass, porcelain or ceramic with a lid, e.g. a glass roasting dish.
If no lid is available for the cookware, use heat-resistant cling film to cover the cookware.
Place the cookware on the bottom of the appliance.
Press to preheat the cookware.
Close the appliance.
The operation indicator flashes while the appliance is preheating.
The operation indicator lights up, the appliance heats up and the fan runs.
Rapidly heat a little fat in a pan.
Sear the meat.
Place food into the preheated cookware.
Put the lid on the cookware or cover it using heat-resistant cling film.
Place the cookware with the meat in the appliance.
Press —.
The default temperature lights up in colour.
The available temperatures light up.
If required, select another temperature.
Close the appliance.
The operation indicator flashes while the appliance is preheating.
The operation indicator lights up, the appliance heats up and the fan runs.

Ending the “Low-temperature cooking” function

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!

The accessories and cookware become very hot during operation.
Always use oven gloves when removing hot accessories or cookware from the appliance.

Open the appliance.
Switch off the appliance.
Remove the cookware.

Additional applications

Your appliance offers additional useful applications.
Note the recommended settings.

Defrosting

You can use your appliance to defrost frozen food gently and more evenly than in the microwave. Note the recommended settings.

Defrosting food

WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!

When defrosting food from animal sources, the transmission of germs is possible.
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove the liquid that escapes during defrosting.
Ensure that the liquid that escapes during defrosting never comes into contact with other foods.

Remove the food from the packaging before defrosting.
Only defrost the amount of food that you require immediately.
Turn the meat or fish after half of the defrosting time has elapsed.
Break up frozen clumps of food comprising many pieces, e.g. berries and pieces of meat.

Notes

The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and shape of the frozen food. To reduce the defrosting time, freeze food flat or in individual portions.
In some cases, defrosted food may no longer be kept for as long and it may spoil more quickly than fresh food. Prepare defrosted food immediately and cook it thoroughly.
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted. It is sufficient to defrost fish until the surface is soft enough for seasoning/spices to stick.
