4/ USING THE OVEN

•THE PIZZA FUNCTION

2 ways to use it:

•

Without preheating, the

Pizza function cooks and browns most fresh or frozen dough-bases dishes, while giving

them the crispness associated with a traditional oven.

•

With preheating - the

Pizza plate may be preheated while empty, using the Pizza key for a maximum of 2 minutes.

This can be used to seal and cook small pieces of meat or to reheat and brown fresh or frozen prepared dough-

based dishes.

•

Remove food from its original packaging (metal, plastic) before cooking or reheating it using the

Pizza

function.

•

It is preferable to programme a minimum time and then add to it, if necessary.

•

All food with an envelope or skin, such as potatoes or sausages, must be pricked before cooking.

•

Once completely defrosted, wipe pieces of meat before sealing them using the

Pizza function.

•

As with traditional cooking, keep an eye on the colour of the food.

•

Protect your hands when you remove the dish because it may be very hot.

•

Stuffed foods or parcels should not be eaten too soon e.g. sausage rolls), since they may be lukewarm on the

outside but very hot in the centre.

•

The

Pizza function is not suitable for cooking or reheating eggs.

•

If you wish to cook a succession of dishes, using the

Pizza function, for the best browning results we

recommend that you allow a cooling period of approximately 10 minutes between each operation.

Tips

With the

Pizza function, you save time and energy, while retaining the pleasure of traditional recipes (taste, colour and

texture).

•

The

Pizza function, with its special plate, allows the simultaneous operation of the grill and microwave.

•

The

Pizza plate, with its special coating, absorbs microwaves from underneath.

•

It spreads the heat under the food to cook or re-heat it and so give the desired colour and crispness, while the

grill browns the top.
