5.4 COOKING TIPS

It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the
meat to spatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke.
Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven
cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks
through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the
joint.
Correct preheating is the basis of successful red meat cookery.
GRILLS
• Before loading the grill:
Remove the meat from the refrigerator a few hours before grilling. Lay
it on several layers of kitchen paper. This improves seizing, making it
tastier and avoids it staying cold at the centre.
Add pepper and spices to the meat before grilling, but add any salt
after cooking. This way it will seize better and stay juicy. Baste all the
food to be cooked with a little oil. This is best done with a wide flat
basting brush.Then sprinkle with more pepper and herbs (thyme,
etc.).
• During cooking:
Never pierce the food during cooking even when you turn it. This lets
the juice out and it becomes dry.
BAKING
Avoid using shiny tins, they reflect the heat and can spoil your cakes. If
your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or
aluminium foil.
Caution: The correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards
the cake. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not
penetrate the food.
Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of
cooking:
Soufflés, brioches, sponge cakes, etc. will tend to fall.You can check if
cakes are done by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal
knitting needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready
and you can stop cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of
cake attached, continue baking but slightly lower the thermostat so
that it is finished off without burning.

5.5 ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY CONTRAST

The display contrast can be adjusted at any time.
The default setting is "C5". To adjust the setting, carry out the
following:
•Turn the programme selector to "Light" and the function selector to
"0". Press in the central key for 3 seconds and "CX" will appear on the
display (where X = the contrast level).
Turn the central key to adjust the contrast setting. The settings go from
1 to 9. Confirm the new setting by pressing the central key for 3
seconds.
