Water gets on the kitchen floor when using the oven

Issue

• Water gets on the kitchen floor when using the oven
• Oven leaks
• Water leaks from the oven during use

Applies to

• Ovens
• Cookers

Resolution

1. If water gets on the kitchen floor when using the oven, during roasting a great deal of condensation is created.

2. Using too much water when roasting a small amount of meat on a large roasting tin will cause the water to evaporate too quickly and the meat will be roasted dry.

• Use a small roasting tin or an ovenproof dish suitable for the size of the roast.
• Alternatively, place the roast on the rack and put a dish in the same size as the roast in the roasting tin under the roast to collect the juices.

3. Using hot air for roasting will cause greater evaporation.

• The hot circulating air generates more steam in the oven compartment.
• When hot air is used for cooking, the food will also dry out more.
• Optional: Add a little water, no more than 200 - 400 ml. Do not add any more water during roasting.

4. When preparing dishes that generate a lot of moisture, use the heat from the top and bottom elements.
