Roasting
If the meat is covered when roasted, e.g. in a
casserole, it will retain its juices and little or
no smoke will develop. When roasted in an
open roasting tin it will brown and crisp more
quickly.
The oven's roasting tin is ideal for roasting
large joints, weighing over 1 kg.

Surface grilling
Surface grilling can be done with the
convector oven or with the upper and lower
heating elements.
Place the roasting sheet on the first oven
level.
Place the grill sheet in the middle of the
oven.
Close the oven door.
Set the knob for the desired oven system.
Dark meat such as beef, game and mutton will
brown more quickly than light meat, such as
veal, pork and poultry. Light meat and fish
filets will not be as brown on the outside, even
when they are done to juicy perfection on the
inside.

Smoke caused by burning grease will often
develop when meat is grilled directly on the
rack. The smoke development can be
minimised by filling the roasting sheet with
water and placing it underneath the grill rack.
This will, of course, result in increased
condensation.
Cool door
For safety reasons, in particular when grilling
(when small children are around), it is wise to
use a cool door. Cool doors are available upon
request from Pelgrim, Service and Parts
Department, (+ 31 (0)315 339700), order
