Slow cooking
Temperature setting 6 is suitable for slow cooking to complete seared, minor to medium-sized,
high-quality cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork, veal) no thicker than 6 cm. We recommend cooking
more significant pieces of meat in an oven or combi-steam oven. Cooking meat at a low temperature
for longer makes it tender and succulent.
Preparations
First, sear the meat and then let it cook in the warming drawer at low temperature.
•Use suitable glass, porcelain or ceramic cookware.
•Preheat the drawer containing the cookware at setting level 6.
•Heat a little fat in a pan and sear the meat.
•Place the meat in the preheated cookware in the drawer to cook to completion.
The searing times below refer to the sealing of meat in hot fat.

NOTE!
Meat that has been low temperature cooked is not as hot as conventionally cooked meat. Sauces
should be served very hot. Put the plates in the warming drawer during the last 45–60 minutes
of cooking.
To keep meat prepared at a low temperature warm, turn the temperature down to position 4.
Small pieces of meat can be kept warm for up to 45 minutes and large pieces for up to 2 hours.

Heating tableware
Spread tableware across the entire warming plate. The heating duration depends on the material
and thickness of the dishes and their quantity, height and arrangement. Stacked plates take longer
to heat up than individual items. Do not place any large platters on their end in front of the ventilation
slits. They block the outlet openings for the heated air, and as a result, the dishes are not heated
evenly.

2. Touch the 'Tableware' operating mode key.
•The recommended temperature setting and time duration illuminate.
3. Close the drawer.
•The control lamp will light up.
