Convection Roast; Broil; Convection Broil; Pizza - Thermador MASTERPIECE Serie Mode D'emploi

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom
elements as well as heat circulated by the convection
fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:
As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
▯
modes.
Rich, golden browning.
▯
Tips
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
▯
Check doneness early, since roasting time may
▯
decrease.
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
▯
Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for
▯
roasting. A shallow, uncovered pan can also be used.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
▯
temperature of the meat.
If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
▯
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat
to prevent over-browning.
Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after
▯
removing it from the oven.
See charts for recommended rack positions.

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender
cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be
used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with
the door closed.
To use the broil pan and grid:

▯
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
▯
sticking.
Use the broil pan and grid included with the oven.
▯
Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
▯
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
Turn meats once during the rcommended cook time
▯
(see charts at the end of the book).
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or
▯
glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate
▯
the high temperature.
