General cooking guidelines

General cooking guidelines

The cooking times given below are based on the following:

Note:
Remove the iPinium tray from the oven on the grill grid – turn immediately and let rest for 4 minutes. Serve!
It is a good idea to use a digital thermometer to measure the core temperature with – see the table at the bottom of the page.
FRESH: load on hot iPinium tray in warm oven – 250 C. Room temperature: 17 +/-2 degrees.
FROZEN: load on room tempered iPinium tray and in warm oven – 250 degrees – thawing and cooking is simultaneously achieved.

Frozen pizzas are cooked to hot and crispy perfection at 230 degrees.
Take about 20% off the recommended cooking time on the packaging.

Frozen pies are cooked to hot and crispy perfection at 230 degrees.
Cooking time is normally about 16 minutes, rather than the recommended 20-35 min (175-200 degrees).

Temperatures for meat and fish:
Pork: 65-70 degrees, optimal temperature 68 degrees
Chicken: 70 degrees
Beef, lamb:
-rare 56-58 degrees
-medium 58-64 degrees
-well done 70 degrees

Salmon: 48-50 degrees
Game fish, eg. cod, haddock, pollock: about 52 degrees
Atlantic halibut: 48-50 degrees
Flatfish: 50-52 degrees

Cooking with the iPinium

The basic recipes assume that you have a convection oven – the quantity of ingredients and the cooking times are based on this. The oven can be loaded with a maximum amount of 800-1000 g meat/fish/chicken plus potatoes and vegetables, spread across one or two iPiniums.An oven with upper and lower heat settings (ie not a convection oven) will also work well, but then the amount of food that can be cooked at the same time will be smaller: max 600 g meat/fish/chicken plus potatoes and vegetables on an iPinium tray placed in the middle of the oven.

Always place the iPinium tray inside the oven, preferably on the oven’s own grid. The thermostat is then turned to 250 degrees. Wait until this temperature has been reached. It is a good idea to place a simple thermometer inside to measure the ’real’ oven temperature. A rule of thumb is to wait for 15 minutes before beginning cooking, even if the oven indicates that it has reached 250 degrees before that.

Then quickly place the ingredients on the iPinium tray, leaving the oven door open for as short a time as possible.

Always spread the ingredients evenly across the iPinium tray, placing the potatoes/vegetables on the surfaces inbetween.

Frying and grilling times are adapted according to each ingredient, so that meat, fish, and anything else you wish to cook with the iPinium will turn out both healthy and delicious. Only your imagination limits what you serve as accompaniments – salads, sauces, spices, potatoes, couscous…

The recommended cooking times assume that the ingredients are room tempered, that is, 15 C minimum. Pat the ingredients dry using kitchen paper before cooking with the iPinium tray. The exceptions are products like frozen pizzas and hamburgers.

The grilling times given guarantee a good result, and are meant for cooking without turning the ingredients. If you use a larger quantity than that which is given in the recipes, you might need to adjust your cooking time accordingly.

The iPinium tray might bulge a little during cooking, but this is normal, and the tray will resume its original shape once it has cooled.
Note! It is a good idea to place a regular tray underneath the grid upon which the iPinium tray is placed, to collect any fat drippings or cooking juices. Coat the tray with aluminium foil to facilitate cleaning.

Forcooking with iPinium Potato Baker

The iPinium Potato Baker is placed in an oven-proof pan or in the oven’s own pan to collect any fat drippings or cooking juices.

Coat the pan with aliminium foil to facilitate cleaning.
