HINTS AND TIPS
Use the Convenience oven when you want to
warm plates. Use a setting of 80°C - 100°C
on the oven temperature control.
You can use both shelves when using the fan
assisted oven.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1")
between the top of the food and the grill
element. This gives best cooking results and
allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes,
pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or
baking trays centrally on the shelf.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray or dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
Where a degree of evenness in baking is
required, it may be necessary to interchange
food during cooking.
Where a larger quantity of food is to be
cooked we recommend you use the main fan
oven.
Place dishes on a suitably sized baking tray
on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning
of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
non-stick utensils increase base browning.
Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays
reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.
Do not use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base
browning of the food.
Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations in the cooking chart.
When roasting we recommend that you use
the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices
will drain into the meat tin below and can be
used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a
heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel
to crack.
