electrolux hints and tips

• Do not place baking trays directly on
the oven base as it interferes with
the oven air circulation and can lead
to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
Hints and tips when turbo grilling
• Prepare foods in the same way as
for conventional grilling. Brush
lean meats and fish lightly with a
little oil or butter to keep them
moist during cooking.
• Most food should be placed on
the grill pan grid in the 'high'
position in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air around
the food.
• Accompaniments such as
tomatoes and mushrooms may be
placed below the grid when grilling
meats, or in a separate dish on a
lower shelf.
• Foods will cook more quickly the
closer they are to the grill element
and the higher the temperatures
selected. Be prepared to adjust
temperatures and shelf positions
during cooking if necessary.
• The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.
• Ensure that ready prepared or
cooked chilled dishes e.g.
shepherds pie, moussaka,
lasagne, etc., are piping hot
throughout before serving.
• A temperature range of 140°C -
220° is suitable for most foods.
Be prepared to make suitable
adjustments during cooking to suit
individual requirements. If Turbo
grilling on more than one level, it
may be necessary to interchange
the food on the shelves during
cooking.
Hints and tips when using pizza
• Single level cooking using the middle
shelf position gives best results.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally
on the shelf for maximum air
circulation.
• Be guided by the cook times and
temperatures given on any
packaging.
• Some pizzas should be cooked
directly on the oven shelf. To prevent
soiling the oven base, place a baking
tray in one of the lower shelf
positions.
• The material and finish of the baking
trays and dishes used will affect
base browning. 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.
