Roasting
The roasting method is one of the
simplest ways to cook a large piece
of meat. roasting is often the method
of choice because it yields a tender
interior and browned exterior through
prolonged oven cooking. One of the
most attractive aspects of roasting to
a busy cook is that while the roast is
cooking, the cook is freed to perform
any other tasks that need attention
before dinner is served. Before
beginning the oven cooking segment
of the roasting process, the meat
should be trimmed and seasoned.
The standard temperature for cooking
roasts is 175oc.
Technically, the lower the heat of
the oven, the better the final roasted
product will be. At a lower temperature,
the meat will take longer to cook but
will produce more flavour and moisture.
(never roast meat at a temperature
below 93°c). Once the temperature to
cook the roast at has been decided
upon, and the oven preheated, place
the trimmed, tied and seasoned meat
onto a baking dish and into the oven.
roast the meat until its ideal internal
temperature is reached. The ideal
internal temperature will depend wholly
on what type of meat is being roasted.
For example, a roast pork loin’s final
interior temperature should be around
70°c. gauge the internal temperature
of meat by using a meat thermometer
or by using the ILVE roasting Probe
(available on some models only).
Rotisserie
The rotisserie is one of the best ways
to cook meat. The rotisserie can
accommodate up to two joints of
meat or portions of poultry at once.
Meat cooked this way will need
approximately 40 to 50 minutes per kilo
at a temperature of 175 to 200°c. This
is a guide only; it is recommended that
meat is checked every 30 minutes.
1. Insert rotisserie skewer into small
opening on right side of oven wall
cavity.
2. Leave oven door closed.
3. Turn function knob to grill and set the
temperature to 175°c.
nOTE: The ILVE rotisserie motor has a
weight load of 4kg for 30cm Oven, 6kg
for the 40cm Oven and 8kg for all other
ILVE ovens.

in your gas oven.
Pizza stone
you can use the pizza stone for both
pizzas and sweet pastries.
The pizza stone can also be used for
keeping your bread warm and crusty,
just buy a good loaf of bread, warm in
the oven and serve on the pizza stone.
ILVE TIP
after cooking wipe the pizza stone
with wet cloth, the blacker it gets the
tastier the food will be, just like with
wok cooking and barbequing. If you
are cooking pasrties, you can lay
baking paper over the stone to avoid
flavours crossing over.
