The fan oven
The fan oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food. The
advantages of fan oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its
temperature, so it is not usually necessary to
preheat the oven. Without preheating
however, you may need to add an extra 5 –
10 minutes on the recommended cooking
times. For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.
Cooking temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in
the cooking chart. As a guide reduce
temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your
own recipes, using a conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf
levels, especially useful when batch baking.
