Should you dry potatoes before roasting?

Make sure your potatoes are really dry before roasting, to ensure the skin is ready to be cracked and crisp. It also helps to give them a bit of a shake in whatever container they are in, to roughen up the soft surfaces more and create space for the fat to get in and crisp them up!

Boil chunks of potato until they’re just tender, toss them none-too-gently with fat (ideally beef drippings) to rough up their surface, then roast them until they’re crisp and crackling. The boiling and roughing-up steps are the real keys.

The Bake Stone mode has a temperature range of 170F – 550F. Both convection fans help circulate the air throughout the oven cavity so even temperatures are achieved. Wolf suggests removing the other oven racks when using the bake stone to make it easier to get the food on and off the bake stone.

VarioSteam gives dishes just the right amount of moisture by adding steam at three intensity levels. A low level is perfect if you’re reheating a dish you’ve cooked earlier and a higher level is great for baking bread. You can add VarioSteam when using CircoTherm, top and bottom heat, bread baking or grilling.

Steaming also means you’re pre-cooking the potato, making the edges soft and expanding the surface area for maximum crispiness. The slightly crumbly, imperfect edges on your already-soft potatoes soak up all the fat you toss them in and turn super crispy in the oven. What is this? Report Ad.

The biggest difference between roast and bake setting on Wolf oven is how it cycles the oven’s heat. While the convection bake setting provides consistent, even heat, roasting cycles the broiler on and off to brown food and seal in juices.

E Series Ovens use a combination of broil and bake elements to heat the air to maintain temperature in Proof Mode. This mode is ideal for proofing, or rising, bread dough. No need to preheat for Proof Mode. Limit frequent door openings to prevent losing heat and lengthening proofing time.
