cooking frozen convenience foods; follow the instructions on the food packaging.

the oven door must remain closed. When cooking meat, pour a little water into the drip tray (on the first level) to reduce smoke and
fat spatters. Ideally the meat should be turned during cooking.

cooking meat, it is advisable to pour water in the drip-tray placed on the first level. This will reduce smoke and spattering of fat. Turn
the meat during grilling.
