• When cooking more than one dish in
the fan oven, place dishes centrally
on different shelves rather than
cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
• When batch baking one type of
food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes,
those of similar size will be cooked in
the same time.
• It is recommended that when baking
larger quantities the shelf positions
should be evenly spaced to suit the
load being cooked. A slight increase
in cooking time may be necessary.
• 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.
