Afterwards, the meat is ‘cooked ripe’ at a low temperature – 70 °C for small pieces, 80 °C for larger pieces – and then actually roasted. A large piece of roast beef, for example, turns out better than with any other cooking method : for example, a millimetre tin crust that is completely soft and pink with unsurpassed juiciness. The exact temperature control enables precise pre-selection of the desired result, from rare to very well done. Larger pieces such as entrecote, roast beef or leg of lamb will cook for 2 to 4 hours, smaller pieces such as steaks or poultry cubes for

Set the closed jars at 100 °C and 100% humidity on the wire rack or the perforated cooking insert. The jars should have good spacing in between and should not touch each other. As soon as the liquid in the jars begins to bubble, shut the oven off. Leave the jars in the oven until completely cooled down.

10. Convection Temperature setting : 150 °C – 230 °C Humidity : 0 % Ideal solution for cakes: short pastry bottom, juicy topping. Ideally with convection in a traditional convection oven. The oven is vented through an opening to extract humidity. Especially advantageous for baking, since baked goods dispense humidity during the baking process, otherwise the dough will be soaking wet – e.g. cheesecake, fruitcake, bund cake, biscuit or hearty quiches.

Place the frozen goods in the perforated cooking insert at medium level with a drip pan underneath – this way the food does not sit in the thawing liquid (please discharge liquid afterwards). Flip meat or fish halfway though the thawing process, separate, for example, berries or small pieces of meat and place apart from each other on the insert. Fish does not have to be thawed completely, as it is sufficient if the surface is soft enough to absorb spices.

Truffled Goose Liver Terrine

Preparation: Soak the goose liver in cold whole milk for one hour to extract bitterness. Remove from milk and blot dry. Carefully separate the two liver lobes and with a sharp knife, remove all blood vessels, nerves and fatty tissues. Liver will automatically separate into chunky pieces. Let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Mix the ingredients for the marinade. Put the liver on a deep plate and pour marinade over it. Cover and let it rest overnight in the fridge. The next day, layer the goose liver in a terrine form, just spacious enough for the meat. Press the liver tightly to eliminate all spaces. Cut the truffles in strips and stick in the middle of the goose liver. Preheat the CombiSteam oven to 65 °C

Lemon Duck with Fennel

Preparation: Preheat the CombiSteam oven to 200 °C and select 80% humidity. Wash the duck and dab dry. If any quills are left, remove them using tweezers. Forcefully rub the duck’s exterior with salt and pepper, season the inside with salt, pepper, anise schnapps and plenty of grated lemon peel. Tie the duck’s wings to its body. Put the duck breastdown into the cooking insert or cast roaster. Cook for 1 hour in the CombiSteam oven. After half the cooking time, turn the duck. Those who prefer the skin especially crisp should now brush it with salt water (1 tablespoon salt in 0.25 l water). In the meantime, wash and trim the fennel and put the tender leaves aside. Boil the stock on the cooktop using a wide pot. Add bay leaves and fennel seeds. Quarter the fennel bulbs lengthwise; add them to the boiling stock and cook for 10 minutes at low heat. Take out the fennel and cut into slices. Remove the duck from the CombiSteam oven and scoop the grease from the cooking insert. Prepare about a half-liter of fennel stock, adding a few tablespoons of lemon juice to taste. Spread

Risotto

Preparation : Preheat CombiSteam oven to 120 °C and 100% humidity using a large unperforated baking insert ( 2 /3 GN). Finely chop onions, thyme leaves and garlic for the risotto and sauté in olive oil, add the rice and stir thoroughly until all grains are shiny. Boil the vegetable broth before pouring. Before the rice begins to roast, extinguish with lemon juice or white wine, salt and fill with hot broth. To avoid constant stirring, add all broth at once. Transfer the hot risotto into the warm unperforated cooking insert. Cook in the preheated CombiSteam oven at 100% humidity for approximately 25 – 30 minutes. When the grain is soft but ‘al dente’ at the core, take the insert out. Immediately stir butter and parmeggiano into it. Season to taste and add chopped parsley. Tip : Risotto takes slightly longer in the CombiSteam oven than on the cooktop, but is much easier to prepare. Carnaroli : Commonly know as the best Italian risotto rice, fewer quantities are harvested than Vialone or Arborio, so it is more expensive. Cooking time on the cooktop 15 – 17 minutes. Arborio : Traditional risotto rice. Medium grain. Tends to become soft and slightly sticky. Cooking time on the cooktop : approximately 18 minutes. Vialone : Traditional risotto rice. Medium to long grain. Cooking time on the

La Gougère

Preparation: Boil water and butter in a saucepan. When butter is completely melted, add flour, salt and pepper. Stir over medium heat until a lump forms. Once there is a whitish coating on the bottom of the saucepan, remove saucepan from heat and allow to cool a bit. Stir in the eggs one by one and add the cheese. Preheat Gaggenau Combination Steam Oven to 190 °C without humidity setting. Line baking tray with baking paper and use a pan lid to draw a circle of 20 cm in diameter. Use two tablespoons to shape small dumplings. Arrange dumplings on the baking tray along the marked circle to make them form the outer rim of the Gougère ring. Then place small portions of dough between the dumplings and proceed until the ring shows a consistent form. Brush on whisked egg and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Put the Gougère into the preheated combination steam oven and push mist button to add moisture. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until it is crispy and golden brown. Switch off the heat and allow the Gougère to stand in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes. Tip: Gougère is a choux pastry seasoned with cheese that comes from the French Burgundy where it is preferably served with wine. It is recommended not to open the oven door during the baking process, as the dough might go down.

Italian-style Unleavened Bread

Preparation: Mix the flour in the mixing bowl with half the olive oil and add enough cold water to produce a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in foil and allow to stand for 1 hour. Preheat oven with baking stone to 300 ºC. Crumble goat’s cheese, mix with the chopped herbs and season with some lemon juice. Once the dough has stood, knead it once more, halve it and set aside for another 5 minutes. Thinly roll out one dough ball on the floured working board, carefully draw out in all directions by hand as thinly as possible (take account of peel size). Roll out the second dough ball. Place one dough plate onto the floured pizza peel and distribute goat’s cheese cubes on it. Cover with the second dough plate, press edges together, and pinch together with the knuckles here and there. Spread salt on top and sprinkle with the remaining oil. Spread remaining herbs on. Distribute oil evenly with a brush. Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven directly on the baking stone until the surface is neatly brown. Cut into 10 cake slices and serve immediately.

Quails Wrapped in Bacon

Preparation : Preheat the oven to 180 °C using the convection grill function. Wash the quails inside and outside with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub inside and outside of quails with salt. Put a bay leaf into each quail. Spread the slices of bacon across a big cutting board. Put one quail on each slice. Put one bay leaf on the right side of each quail’s breast, and a sage leaf on the left side. Wrap the bacon around the herbs and the quail’s breast and secure with toothpicks and cooking string. Put the quails on the rotisserie spit, secure them and put spit into the rotisserie of the preheated oven. Put a baking insert underneath. Remove the spit’s handle and start the rotisserie via the control panel. Grill for 20 – 25 minutes. The quails are done if the meat juice runs clear. Serve with white bread.

Juniper Spit Roast

Preparation: Wash the meat, blot dry and set aside. Crush the junipers, pimento and peppercorns with a mortar. Add the orange peel, salt and mustard together with schnapps and oil, stirring into a creamy paste. Brush the meat with the paste and let it sit covered overnight. Next day: preheat oven to 180 °C. Remove paste from meat and put roast on spit. Secure well on both ends. Put spit into rotisserie, remove handheld and activate rotisserie via control panel. Make sure to put the drip insert under the meat, to collect the juices. Mix the reminder of the paste with the wine and drizzle it over the meat while grilling. Grill for about 75 minutes until golden brown. Remove the roast from the spit and let it rest for approximately 5 minutes. Cut and pour the collected juices from the insert over the meat.

Salt-Encrusted Roast Beef

Preparation : Preheat oven with top and bottom heat function to 250 °C. Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then stir cold water into the mix until dough is stringy. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. In the meantime, rub pepper and crushed garlic onto the roast beef and place the herb stems on top of the meat. On a flour covered cutting board, roll out the salt dough to a size big enough for wrapping it around the meat. Place the meat in the center and fold the corners of the dough over, firmly pressing the corners together. Use a fork to poke several little holes in the dough to allow steam to evaporate. Put the roast on a deep oil-brushed baking sheet and put it in the oven, on the second level from the bottom. Insert the core temperature probe from the side – through the dough – into the meat. Set the desired core temperature (55 – 58 °C) and confirm. After 30 minutes, reduce heat to 180 °C and continue to bake until the desired core temperature is reached (after another approximate 15 minutes). Take the roast beef out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes, so that the meat juices can spread. It is best to only open the salt crust at the table, take out the pink roast beef and cut it into slices.

Chicken Filled with Morels

Preparation : Let the morels swell in lukewarm water for 1 hour. Then let them drip off thoroughly. Sieve the juice and keep it. For the stuffing, chop the giblets, half of the morels and the bacon into small pieces. Mix well with the dripped-off white bread, egg, cognac, salt and pepper. Stuff the chicken with the mix and stitch up with cooking string. Preheat the oven to 160 °C using the convection function. Slightly rub the chicken with butter and place on a wire shelf. Slide the shelf into the oven with a grill insert underneath. Bake for about 90 minutes. Melt 40 g of butter in a pan and let the remaining morels simmer for 5 –10 minutes at medium heat. Cook approx. 200 ml of the morels’ juice in a small pot. Take the chicken out of the oven and place on a serving plate. Put the warm morel juice into the grill insert and mix with the roast drippings.

Chicken Roast with Pesto

Preparation : Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Fry the pine nuts without additional oil or butter in a pan at medium heat until they are golden-brown and release a fragrant scent. Immediately take them out of the pan. Peel the garlic clove and coarsely chop it. Separate the basil leaves from the stems and coarsely chop the leaves. Mince pine nuts, garlic and basil with a mixer. Add oil and Parmesan, then mix and salt. Cut off the tips of the chicken wings. Wash the chickens inside and outside with cold water and dab dry. Loosen the chickens’ skin on the breast as much as possible, starting from the cavity (try not to take off or damage the skin). Spread two tablespoons of pesto between the breast meat and the skin. Put the remaining pesto inside the chickens’ cavity. Halve the roll and toast it. Put half a roll into each chickens’ cavity (which gives stability when on the spit). Place the chickens breast-up on the cutting board. Twist the wings, tuck them behind the back and tie a cooking string around both. Firmly press the chicken legs down, then tie the ends of the cooking string around the leg joints and knot firmly. Attach the prepared chickens to the spit, secure and transfer them into the preheated oven’s rotisserie. Remove the handle and start the rotisserie via the control panel. Roast the chickens for 40 – 45 minutes.

Dorade (Sea Bream) with Lemon

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 160 °C using convection. Cut onions into thin rings, the organic lemons into 1 cm thick slices and cut in half. Wash the dorade and blot dry with paper towels. Slice the fish diagonally 5 to 6 times on both sides. Put one lemon slice into each cut, and the rest of the lemon slices into the belly. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Put onion rings into a baking dish or directly on a baking insert, and place the fish on top of them. Dose with oil and white wine. Place in oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Tip: Serve the Dorade very hot right from the oven with white bread, to soak up the olive-oil-lemon mix from the plate. The Mediterranean dish doesn’t require side dishes, as the south of Europe enjoys fish pure. Vegetables, pasta or salad are served as an appetizer.

Tarte Tatin

Preparation : Roll out the slightly thawed dough on a floured cutting board and poke several times with a fork. Cut out a circle of approx. 26 cm diameter, cover with foil and chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. To make caramel, fill a heavy pan with water and cover with sugar. As soon as the sugar has absorbed the water, caramelize it at medium temperature. Add butter while stirring. Remove the caramel and immediately add to the cake pan, spreading on the bottom. Preheat oven to 220 °C with the wire rack on the second level from the bottom. Fill the baking pan at the rim with half of the apples. In the center pile three apples. Chop the remaining apples finely and fill into the spaces. Top with melted butter and sugar. Bake apples in the preheated oven for 30 minutes and remove. Cover apples with puff pastry dough. Tuck into the dough in the baking pan at the seam and bake on the second level from the top for 20 – 25 minutes. Let the Tarte Tatin chill well, loosen the seam with a knife and turn upside down with the help of a cake plate. Tip : Remove the apple core with a core remover and season the apples before baking with calvados. Caramel can be prepared in two ways: by heating up sugar without water or by cooking sugar syrup. The latter is easier, since

Shape a hollow into the mixture, fill in the mashed potatoes and half of the water, and knead rapidly to produce a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, add more water. Brush baking tray with oil. Knead dough on a floured surface, roll out dough and shape a thin sheet (2 cm thick). Use a cutter or a small liqueur glass to cut out small biscuits of 4 to 5 cm in diameter and place biscuits on the baking tray. Brush biscuits with milk and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 15 – 20 minutes in preheated oven at 210 ºC until the potato biscuits are golden brown and crispy. Tip : The biscuits can be served as delicious snacks to round off a winetasting ceremony with friends. Topping

Modes Gaggenau Ovens Knob position (mode indication on display)

Heating System

Application

Convection

Convection cooks all dishes with the same temperature, generated by a circular heating element. Several dishes – the same or different – can be prepared at the same time on different levels without transporting the flavour between the dishes. Convection can be used for baking, roasting, thawing, drying, dehydrating, sterilizing.

Convection + bottom heat

This mode uses the bottom heating element. The fan distributes the heat evenly. Heat is generated only from the bottom. This mode is used to bake and roast.

Convection + large grill

Temperature controlled grilling with convection: During the temperature controlled grilling the heating element releases less or more infrared heat, depending on the setting of the ‘temperature’ knob. The rotating fan wallows the hot air simultaneously which results in an even all-around warming, even with a full roast. Multiple flipping is eliminated.

Large grill

Performance oriented grilling: During the temperature controlled grilling the heating element releases less or more infrared heat, depending on the setting of the ‘temperature’ knob. Best for thinner meat slices and to cook ‘au gratin’. For browning on all sides the meat has to be turned. Another option is to use the rotisserie. Grilling with the rotisserie creates a crispy crust and even browning on all sides. Insert the wire rack holder for the rotisserie at the second insert level from the bottom. Place the drip tray one insert level below. Attention: rotisserie and core temperature probe cannot be used together. If the core temperature probe is plugged in, the rotisserie mode is blocked.

Economy grilling

The grill’s heating element is only partially heated. Please turn the meat after half of the cooking time in order to achieve an even all-around roasting.

Bottom heat

To brown or cook only with bottom heat.

Bottom heat + 1 / 3 top heat

To brown or cook with bottom heat and partial top heat.

Top + bottom heat

Two heating elements are operated together. Only one insert level can be used when baking or roasting with top and bottom heat. The best result is achieved when using the second insert level from the bottom.

Top heat

For targeted browning and cooking from the top.

Cooking

Dough rising at 38 °C with the ‘cooking’ mode. (Attention: The oven light does not turn on in this mode to avoid additional heat in the oven. By pressing any key the light will turn on for a few seconds).

Cast roaster mode

The cast roaster with heating element roasts and simmers large amounts of meat, and is ideal for turkey, a large goose, or a casserole. To protect the cast roaster the temperature is limited to 220 °C. (Attention: Only with accessory BT 26 / cast roaster with heating element HZ 026 / heating element for cast roaster and baking stone. For 70 cm ovens additional accessory GR 027 / wire rack holder for BT 026 necessary).

Baking stone

Pizza, bread and much more – the baking stone creates baking results like a massive stone oven. (Attention: For ovens of the Series 200 only with accessory PS 026 / baking stone with pizza paddle for 60 cm ovens. For 70 cm ovens and HZ 026 / heating element for baking stone and cast roaster. For ovens of the Series 300 only with accessory PS 070 (EB 388) or PS 075 (for EB 385) / baking stone including heating element with pizza paddle).

ECO

The Eco mode allows baking cake, cookies, casseroles and gratins in an energy-efficient way. The oven light (only with EB 240/260/270/290/294) and the catalyst heating are turned off in this mode. The preheating time extends. In addition, the oven will turn off if heating elements are programmed and use the residue heat for the remainder of the cooking time.
