Notes for cooking poultry
using Automatic programmes
– Poultry weighing less than 900 g is
not suitable for cooking in an
Automatic programme as it is likely to
dry out.
– The Miele Gourmet oven dishes are
ideal for cooking poultry in the
Automatic programmes, as there is
plenty of space to add liquid. When
using ovenproof glass, ceramic or
stainless steel roasting dishes, it
might be necessary to reduce the
quantity of liquid being added.
– Always place poultry in the oven with
the breast uppermost. Some
programmes require the addition of
extra liquid part way through the
cooking time, and sometimes the lid
needs to be removed. This will be
indicated in the display.
– Insert the food probe into the area
between the thigh and the breast,
and on larger birds into the breast.
Make sure that the metal tip is
inserted as deeply as possible into
the thickest part of the bird, and that
the handle is angled upwards.
– If you are cooking several birds
together, select ones that are similar
in size. Insert the food probe into the
largest bird.
