Bakes, gratins
Notes
■
The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven.
■
Place the bake in microwaveable ovenware on the cooking
compartment floor.

Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more
on top.

Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the oven for a
further 5 minutes after the oven has been switched off.

For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For
larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to tell when the roast is ready.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon
test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon
can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too
clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
The roast is not well-done enough.
Carve the roast. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast
meat in the gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.
