7.3 BakeOmatic

BakeOmatic comprises applications for different food groups. The size and
shape of the food are recognised and the cooking time and cooking space cli-

mate are adjusted automatically. BakeOmatic is suitable for the following
foods and dishes:

Fresh aperitif nibbles Flan
Gratin Bread

Soufflé / sweet baked dish Plaited bread

setting.

Duration

When BakeOmatic starts, sensors determine the optimum duration. The effect­ive duration is displayed after about 10–15 minutes.

Before starting, the cooking space must have cooled down and dried
out in order to determine the optimum duration.

The appliance door must not be opened whilst the duration is being
determined.

42

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 temper­ature. 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.

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

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 2 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 2.

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.

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».

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».
