Preserving
For preserving use the pizza oven function.
Preserving Jars
• Only use commercially available preserving jars (preserving jars with a
rubber ring and glass lid) for preserving.
• Jars with screw or bayonet tops are unsuitable, as are metal tins.
Shelf Positions
• Use the 2nd shelf position from the bottom for preserving.
Notes on Preserving
• Use the fat tray for preserving. There is room on this tray for up to
8 preserving jars of 1 litre capacity.
• Pour two cups of water onto the fat tray to ensure that there is suffi-
cient humidity in the oven.
• Position the preserving jars on the fat tray such that they do not
touch each other.
• The preserving jars should all be filled with the same amount and
closed.
Preserving Times
☞
Select pizza oven function and set temperature to 160 °C.
Fruit and Pickled Gherkins
• As soon as bubbles start to form in the liquid in the first jar (nor-
mally front right) (with 1 litre jars after 10 to 20 minutes), switch off
the oven.
Leave the jars to stand in the closed oven for a further 30 minutes –
in the case of delicate fruits, e. g. strawberries, approx. 15 minutes.
Vegetables and Meat
• As soon as air bubbles start to form in the liquid in the first jar, turn
the temperature down to 100 °C.
Leave the food to be preserved to continue to cook at 100 °C for
approx. 60–90 minutes.
• Then switch off the oven and leave the jars to stand in the closed
oven for a further 30 minutes.
