Cooking with the ecompact
Cooking methods with your ecompact
Roasting / stewing
The ecompact is the ideal cookware for the roasting and
®
stewing of meat.
It allows you to roast your food fast and crisp at high tempera-
tures and brown it equally at a medium temperature.
When braising or stewing meat (roasting in open roaster,
adding liquid and cooking in closed roaster), the flavour of
your food is captured in the liquid for a tasty gravy.
The roaster can be used on the stove or in the oven. The
thermometer and the glass lid are temperature-resistant up
to 200 °C.
Cooking food on the insert (steaming / braising)
Steaming is the ideal cooking method for all food that does
not need to be roasted, grilled or made crispy. Steamed food
is always cooked equally throughout. Vegetables retain their
flavour and bite, poultry remains moist and fish does not dis-
integrate into pieces. As the food is not in direct contact with
the water, it retains its distinct flavour.
Steam does not carry flavours from one product to the other,
so that several foods can be cooked together.
To obtain a crispy crust and nice roasting flavour,
you might wish to first fry your food such as meat,
etc. in the roaster before steaming it.

Low-temperature cooking
This cooking method allows you to cook meat or fish gently on
the stove or in the oven. With the low-temperature method,
the food does not dry out or become chewy, which is par-
ticularly important when preparing lean meat or delicate fish.
Your food remains tender, juicy and flavoursome.

Browning / gratins
The roaster can be used as a bake pan in the oven. Thanks to
its rectangular shape, the Silargan

that the smoke rises through the food, giving it its distinct
smoking flavour.
We recommend using this method on the stove, as
the cooking time is shorter than in the oven and
your food remains tasty and moist. Thanks to the
low temperature and the short cooking time, you
can also save energy.
