How to achieve perfect baking and roasting results
A HOUNÖ oven gives you optimum possibilities of achieving good baking/roasting results.
Below are a few pieces of advice on baking and roasting in your HOUNÖ oven.
If your baking/roasting results leave something to be desired, if, for instance, ”uneven”
baking/roasting occurs, follow these recommendations:-
Preheating
It is important always to preheat the oven. The first time you heat the oven after it has
been turned off for more than 4 hours, it must be preheated at 250-300°C for 10 - 15
minutes.
It is also important that the products to be cooked all have the same temperature when
they are placed in the oven. When baking frozen products, the oven should be preheated
for an extra long period of time and it might be a good idea to leave the products at
room temperature for 5 - 10 minutes before they are placed in the oven.
Tip: Each time you cook a full oven load during the day, preheat the oven for 5 minutes
at 250°C.
Fan speed
It is recommended always to use high fan speed. High fan speed ensures the best and
most even distribution of heat in the oven. Only in the case of light products, or if the
oven is only half full, is the occasional use of low fan speed recommended.
Loading the oven
1. It is recommended that canteens and baking sheets are placed in the rack as
follows: the first one in the middle, the second one above the first one, the third
one below the first one, the fourth one above the second one, etc.
2. The products on the sheets should all have the same height. A loaf next to a cake
may result in uneven baking. Different types of product should be placed on
different sheets/containers.
