DESSERTS mode
GB
This cooking mode is suitable for all baked desserts which
do not fall into the PASTRIES or TARTS category (for
example, small choux pastries, sponge cake, etc...).
TRADITIONAL/QUICK MERINGUE mode
The default temperatures cannot be modified.
The TRADITIONAL MERINGUE cooking mode is ideal for
drying meringues. The QUICK MERINGUE cooking mode
is ideal for browning meringues.
DEFROST mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-
temperature air around the food. This mode is suitable for
defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that
should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes or
cakes made with custard, cream or fruit.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking mode, used for years by industry
professionals, enables food (meat, fish, fruit and vegetables)
to be cooked at very low temperatures (85, 95 and 120°C),
thereby guaranteeing a perfect level of cooking and
enhancing the taste as much as possible.
The value of these advantages should not be underestimated:
• as the cooking temperatures are very low (in general they
are lower than the temperature required for evaporation),
the dispersion of cooking sauces due to evaporation is
substantially reduced and the food becomes softer;
• when cooking meat, the muscle fibres contract less than
they would during a classic cooking cycle. The result is
a more tender meat which does not need to be rested
after it is cooked. Meat should be browned before it is
placed in the oven.
Cooking vacuum-packed foods at low temperatures, a
technique used for over 30 years by the most prestigious
chefs, brings many advantages:
• culinary: flavours are concentrated and the taste, softness
and tenderness of the food are maintained;
• hygienic: provided that hygiene regulations are respected,
this type of cooking protects the food from the harmful
effects of oxygen, thus ensuring that the dishes may be
stored for longer in the refrigerator;
• organisational: thanks to the longer storage period,
dishes may be prepared well in advance.
• diet-related: this type of cooking limits the amount of fatty
substances used and therefore means that the food is
lighter and easier to digest;
• financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of the
product left after it has been cooked.
To use this technique, you must use a vacuum-packing
machine and the appropriate bags. Follow the instructions
supplied relating to vacuum-packing food carefully.
The vacuum-packing technique may also be used for raw
products (fruit, vegetables, etc.) as well as pre-cooked
products (traditional cooking).
