INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKING
GRILL COOKINGS
To cook on the grill or on the grate, pre-heat the oven for about 5 minutes. During grill ope-
ration the heat comes from above; it is based on the infrared radiation and is fit for low
thickness meat and for toasts. The meat and the fish to be grilled are to be slightly oiled
and always placed on the grate; this is to be arranged on the nearest or on the farthest
guide from the grill element, according to the thickness of the meat to be cooked. The
table shows some examples of cooking times and food positions. The cooking times vary
according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume.
COOKING OF THE PASTRY
The air circulation of the oven assures an instantaneous and uniform heat distribution.
The forewarming of the oven is no longer necessary. However for specially delicate pastry
the oven can be forewarmed. More trays can be inserted into the oven together with the
pastries, taking care not to use the first grid starting from above. Together with the pastry,
also other aliments of different nature can be cooked at the same time (fish, meat, etc.)
without any transmission of smells and savours.These multiple cookings can be carried
out only provided that, although having different cooking times, the aliments to be cooked
have the same cooking temperature.
GRATINATING
By this term is meant the surface alteration of an aliment, often forecooked, when, after
being introduced into the oven, it takes a golden-brown and crisp aspect. “Gnocchi alla
romana”, polenta pasticciata”, rice, lasagnas, noodles and vegetables dressed with
bechamel are typical preparation for this type of cooking.
DEFROSTING
The defrosting takes place in the same way as at room temperature, but with the advan-
tage that is much more rapid. The ten hours of the refrigerator are reduced to an hour for
a kilogram of meat. Put the meat envelope into its packing on a dish. Introduce it into the
oven.
COOKING TIMES
The table shows some examples for the adjustment of the thermostat and of the cooking
time.
The cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume.
We are sure that, after a few endeavours, the experience will suggest possible variations
to the values shown on the table.
REMARK:
• For the beef, veal, porc and turkey roasts, with bones or rolled, add about 20
minutes to the times shown in the table.
• The indication suggested on the table for the use of the steps is the preferential
one in the case of the cooking of several aliments.
• The times indicated in the table refer to the cooking of one aliment only; for more
than one aliment, the cooking times should be increased by 5 - 10 minutes.
