• The baking time can be 10-15 minutes
longer when baking cakes on trays or in tins
on multiple levels.
• Recipes with moist ingredients such as
pizzas or fruit flans are to be baked on one
level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may
brown at an uneven rate at first. You should
not change the temperature setting if this
occurs. Different rates of browning even
out as baking progresses.
• Baking and roasting times could differ from
those of your previous oven. For this
reason you should adjust the settings you
usually use (temperature, cooking times,
etc.) and oven levels to the
recommendations provided in the
following tables.
Roasting
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to
use for roasting. (Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.)
• You can place large roasts directly in the
roasting tray or on the shelf with the
roasting tray underneath.
• We recommend roasting leaner cuts in a
roasting pan with a lid. The meat will
be more succulent.
• All types of meat which are supposed to be
browned or form a crust or crackling can
be roasted in a roasting pan without a
lid.
The information given in the following
tables is for guidance only.
• We recommend meat and fish weighing
1 kg or more for roasting in the oven.
• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from
burning on to the pan, we recommend
placing some liquid in the roasting
cookware.
• If required, turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of
the cooking time.
• Use the cooking juices to baste large roasts
and poultry several times during the
cooking time. This will give better roasting
results.
Hints and tips when using
the grill
• Most foods should be placed on the grid in
the grill pan to allow maximum circulation
of air and to lift the food out of the fats and
juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position
to allow for different thicknesses of food.
• Position the food close to the element for
faster cooking and further away for gentler
cooking.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread, use the shelf in the
top position with the grid in the ‘high’
position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.
