Setting up your NEFF oven
Important note: You are required to “cook-in” your appliance for the first time in order to remove the new-appliance smell. For FullSteam models you are also required to run a steam function before use. These steps are not covered in this video. Please check your user manual for further instructions on what is required before you begin using your new NEFF oven.

The secret to crispy skin
When it comes to roasting poultry - the crispier the skin, the better! But how do you achieve a crispy skin without drying out the meat inside? With these simple steps, you’re on your way to achieving the perfect roast every time - tender and juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside!
Step 1: Dry your bird
Begin by patting your bird dry with a paper towel. If you’re cooking a whole bird, be sure to clean out the inside as well as the outside to remove all excess moisture. This is absolutely crucial to achieving crispy skin whether you’re cooking a whole bird or a piece of poultry such as the drumstick or breast.
Step 2: Season with salt
Adding salt is great for removing extra moisture as well as seasoning your bird! Spread over the entire surface of your bird and pat down into the skin firmly to ensure it doesn’t fall off when roasting. You can also add a sprinkle of black pepper and other spices for extra flavour.
Step 3: Add butter or duck fat under the skin
Next, slide butter or duck fat underneath the skins surface then prick the skin’s surface multiple times with a pin. This technique will cook the poultry from the inside out keeping it moist and flavoursome, while the butter or duck fat oozes out to crisp up the skin. Win win!
Step 4: Rest overnight
Once you’ve prepared your poultry, gently place it into your roasting pan and put it in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight. When you bird has turned a deeper colour and its skin has tightened due to the removal of moisture, it’s ready to roast! Allow it to rest and bring it back to room temperature before cooking.
Step 5: Circo-Roast your bird
Now it’s time to cook your bird! If you have a NEFF steam oven, place your bird onto a universal pan; place onto level 3. The space around your bird ensures good air circulation which is essential to an even consistent cook. Insert meat probe into the breast.
Set oven to CircoRoasting 200°C, core temperature 76°C, low steam. The oven will turn off when the core temperature has been reached. This will ensure the roast has the right amount of air flow, moisture and heat for a perfect roast every time. Crispy skin on the outside, succulent and flavoursome meat on the inside.

Honey Roasted Pork Fillet with Grilled Figs
Place the pork in a large bowl. Add the oil, honey, vinegar, garlic, shallot, lemon rind and juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and then marinate the pork for at least two hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven on CircoRoasting® to 190°C with VarioSteam® level 1. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on a shallow baking dish. Insert the MultiPoint MeatProbe into the thickest part of the pork and set the internal temperature to 65 – 68°C. Set minute minder for 15 minutes to remind you to add the figs.
While the pork is cooking add figs to the marinade. After pork has cooked for 15 minutes, place the figs around the pork cut side up and pour over all of the marinade. Cook until internal temperature is reached or until pork is cooked to desired doneness. Remove pork from the oven and allow to rest. Figs can be returned to the oven to further caramelise if desired.
Serve pork sliced on the diagonal with figs and spoon over sauce.
Fig Leaf Infused Custard with Toffee Figs
Place 10 x 150ml metal dariole moulds on the large perforated tray and set aside.
Place milk and cream in a medium saucepan and warm over moderate heat. Add sugar, vanilla bean and scraped seeds. Roll the fig leaves up to release the flavour. Add to saucepan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat; set aside for flavours to infuse.
Whisk eggs and yolks together in a large bowl and set aside.
To make the caramel, place sugar and water into a small saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil without stirring. Use a clean pastry brush dipped in water to wipe away any sugar crystals that form at the sides of the saucepan. When the caramel starts to turn golden brown, remove from heat. Divide caramel between dariole moulds to coat the bases.
Pour cream mixture through a fine sieve into the eggs and whisk to combine. Carefully pour into the moulds to fill. Cover each mould with a piece of aluminium foil, placed shiny side down and press edges together to seal.
Place the custards into the oven on level 3; select FullSteam 90°C. Select 25 minutes.
Remove custards from oven. Allow to cool, then place in fridge for 1 hour to cool completely.
To serve, unmould the fig custards by dipping the moulds in hot water. Run a small flexible spatula around the rim to help loosen the custard and invert onto a small serving plate.
Press the cut side of the fig halves in sugar to coat. Use a blowtorch to caramelise the figs and serve with the custard. Garnish with chopped hazelnuts.
