Miele H 4050 BM - Manual (Page 57)

Microwave + Auto roast
Slide the glass tray with the rack into
the first runner level from the bottom.
Use only heat resistant pots, with no
metal in the pot or lid. Microwaves
cannot penetrate metal to reach the
food in the pot.
If using roasting foil
– cut the foil approx. 40 cm longer than
the piece of food
– and tie carefully. Make sure the pot,
foil and ties are suitable for
microwave use.
After selecting an Auto roast
temperature, select a microwave setting
for the total cooking time of:
– 300 W for roasting meat or fish,
– 150 W for roasting poultry.
After the roasting process is
finished
Take the roast out of the oven, wrap in
aluminium foil and leave to stand for
about 10 minutes. This helps retain the
juices when the meat is carved.
Useful hints
Roasting in a covered pot
Season the meat and place in the pot.
Add some knobs of butter or margarine
or baste with a little oil or cooking fat.
Add about 1/8 litre of water when
roasting a big lean joint of meat (2-3 kg)
or roasting poultry with a high fat
content.
Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time. 15 - 20 minutes
before the end of roasting time take the
lid off the pot.
Roasting on the rack
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
place a few strips of streaky bacon on
the top.
Do not add too much liquid to the tray
during cooking as this will hinder the
browning process.
Please note that open roasting can give
rise to excessive smoke.
The temperature required can be set
20°C lower than for pot roasting.
Roasting poultry
For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Frozen meat
Deep frozen meat should be thoroughly
defrosted before roasting.
