6.6 Food probe temperature

Only use the supplied food probe. Do not clean the food probe in the dishwasher. Always keep the plug clean.
The food probe is used to measure the temperature inside the food (referred to as the food probe temperature). As soon as the food reaches the target temperature (the food probe temperature that should be attained at the end of the cooking process), operation stops automatically. It is also possible to simply measure the food probe temperature without stopping operation.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The optimal target temperature is dependent on the cut of meat and on the degree of doneness. Refer to the information on target temperatures in «EasyCook».
Setting
▸ Select the desired operating mode and set the temperature.
▸ Select in the operating mode settings.
▸ Set the desired target temperature and confirm.
▸ To start operation, select .
Operation can only be started when the food probe is plugged in.
▸ Checking and changing the settings (see page 26)
– The current food probe temperature is shown in the top part of the dis-
play when cooking.
The set target temperature is displayed above .
Operation ends automatically once the target temperature has been
reached – see also End of (see page 31)operation.
If the meat is left in the cooking space after having switched off the appliance, the food probe temperature will continue to rise due to the residual heat.

7 GourmetGuide

7.4 Professional baking

With professional baking , the cold cooking space is heated by a steam phase (about 10minutes) and a hot air phase, which follows automatically. This makes yeast and puff pastries light and airy while also forming a nice, glistening crust. «Proofing» allows you to proof a large batch of dough or pre­prepared portions at optimal temperature and humidity levels.
Professional baking has the following range of uses:
Bread
Plaited bread
Puff pastry
Proofing
The appliance door must not be opened during the steam phase, as this would allow cold air to stream in, extending the steaming phase and oversteaming the bread. The bread would come out flatter as a result.
Tips
Allow bread, bread buns and other yeast pastries to proof for about 15
minutes after forming into shape. Place on a stainless steel tray, which has been lined with baking paper, put it into the cold cooking space and bake.
The adjustable temperature corresponds to that of the hot air phase. The
temperature during the steam phase is preset.
For a nice, crispy crust, the smaller the baked goods, the higher the temper-
ature. The optimum temperature for bread buns is generally higher than for a single loaf of bread.
When using «Plaited bread», we recommend brushing the baked goods
with egg beforehand.

Selecting and starting professional baking

▸ Put in the food.
▸ If the appliance is switched off, first press the adjusting knob.
▸ Press the touch button.
▸ Select .
43

7.5 Soft roasting

How it functions

The soft roasting function allows high-quality cuts of meat to be prepared gently. You can select exactly when the cooking process is complete, irre­spective of the weight and thickness of the meat. The temperature is automat­ically regulated. The cooking time can be set to between 2½ and 4½ hours for «Soft roasting seared» or between 1½ and 2½hours for «Soft roasting with steam».
Tips for an optimal result
Take the meat out of the refrigerator ½ to 1 hour before soft roasting.
Weight of meat:
– Soft roasting seared: 500–2000g
– Soft roasting with steam: 500–1500g
Meat food probe temperature: up to 90°C
Meat thickness: at least 4cm
Quality: lean, high-quality meat

«Soft roasting seared»

▸ Season or marinate the meat.
Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before searing. These ingredients burn easily.
▸ Salt the meat immediately before searing.
▸ Briefly sear the meat all over for no longer than 5minutes.
▸ Then place the meat in a glass or porcelain roasting dish.
If you do not intend to sear the meat until after the soft roasting, lower the recommended target temperature by around 3–4°C.
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the
thickest part.
45
Page 46
7 GourmetGuide
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Put the wire shelf at level 1 and place the dish on it.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting seared» (see page 47).

«Soft roasting with steam»

For «Soft roasting with steam», the meat is cooked gently with steam. Since steam transfers energy better, shorter cooking times and thus energy savings are possible. As steam produces condensate, more residual water is left in the cooking space at the end of the cooking process than with «Soft roasting seared».
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the
thickest part.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Push the stainless steel tray into level 1 and the perforated cooking tray
with the meat into level 1.
The perforated cooking tray allows the condensate to drain and so prevents the meat from overcooking. Tip: If you would like to add more flavour to the meat, lay it on a bed of fresh herbs or hay.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting with steam» (see page 47).
▸ After soft roasting, gently sear the meat all over for a total of 4–6minutes.
▸ After searing, wrap the whole piece of meat in aluminium foil and leave it
covered for about 5minutes.
▸ Cut the meat and serve immediately.
46
Page 47
7 GourmetGuide
As the meat is only seared after soft roasting for optical reasons, the recommended target temperature is 4°C lower than for «Soft roasting seared».

Selecting and starting soft roasting

10.2 General tips

Several foods can be cooked simultaneously to save energy, e.g. rice or
pulses together with vegetables with similar cooking times.
With the appropriate amount of liquid, grains, e.g. rice or millet, and pulses,
e.g. lentils, cook directly in suitable tableware.
Put the tableware directly on the perforated cooking tray or wire shelf.

10.3 Saving energy

The operating mode consumes less energy than the operating mode.
▸ Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
▸ Only switch the illumination on when needed.
▸ For gratins, use the residual heat: for cooking times over 30 minutes, switch
the appliance off 5–10 minutes before the end of the operating time.
▸ Minimize preheating.
▸ Only preheat the cooking space if the cooking or baking results depend on
it.
Power consumption can be reduced to a minimum by selecting «Hide time» in the user settings. Despite automatic energy-saving stand-by, all safety functions remain active.

12.8 Descaling

How it functions

Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water supply (i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the boiler. The appliance automatically detects when descaling is necessary and indic­ates this information.
– After pressing the touch button and at the end of each cooking process, the following ap­pears in the display:
We recommend descaling the appliance whenever the warning ap­pears in the display. Continued failure to descale the appliance will likely impair its func­tions or cause damage to the appliance. Descaling takes about 45 minutes.
Would you like to descale the
appliance now?
You must accompany the pro-
cess.

Descaling interval

The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and frequency of use. If steaming 4× 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled – depending on water hardness – roughly as follows:
Water hardness Descale after about
Hard 5 months
Medium 8 months
Soft 12 months
Read remaining operating time
The remaining steam operating time until the next descaling process can be read in the user settings under «Descaling».
