This function is not applicable to such recipes as pot roast or fatty roast pork. You can use the core temperature sensor to guarantee that the meat has the correct core temperature (see the table for the core temperature sensor). In the first 10 minutes you can set an oven temperature between 80 °C and 150 °C. The default is 90 °C. After the temperature is set, the oven continues to cook at 80 °C. Do not use this function for poultry.Always cook without a lid when you use this function. 1. Sear the meat in a pan on the hob on a very high setting for 1 - 2 minutes on each side. 2. Put the meat together with the hot roasting pan into the oven on the wire shelf. 3. Put the core temperature sensor into the meat. 4. Select the function: Slow Cooking and set the correct end core temperature.

This keeps the meat more succulent. • All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.• We recommend that you cook meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above inthe appliance. • To prevent the meat juices or fat from burning onto the pan, put some liquid into the deep pan. • If necessary, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time). • Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting. This gives better roasting results. • You can deactivate the appliance approximately 10 minutes before thewww.aeg.com24

end of the roasting time, and use the residual heat.11.12 Roasting tables BeefFoodFunctionQuantityTempera- ture (°C)Time (min)Shelf posi- tionPot roastConventional Cooking1 - 1.5 kg230120 - 1501Roast beef or fillet: rare1)Turbo Grillingper cm of thickness190 - 2005 - 6 per cm of thickness1Roast beef or fillet: me- diumTurbo Grillingper cm of thickness180 - 1906 - 8 per cm of thickness1Roast beef or fillet: well doneTurbo Grillingper cm of thickness170 - 1808 - 10 per cm of thickness11) Preheat the oven.
