Additional appliance method
Oven with AirFry
- Miele’s new AirFry function (available in selected ovens) creates crispier results compared to using the regular Fan Plus setting.
- This recipe can be cooked using the same setting as above but using AirFry instead of Moisture Plus with Fan Plus. Cooking times may be reduced.
Notes
- Crisp and flavour can vary in this recipe depending on the age of the polenta being used. Instant polenta is easily accessible all year round, however it should still be used before it’s best before date.
- For an incredible, authentic polenta experience try finding a new season polenta from a local biodynamic producer.
