Fan cooking
- The food is cooked by means of
preheated air force blown evenly
round the inside of the oven by a fan
set on the rear wall of the oven itself.
- Heat thus reaches all parts of the
oven evenly and fast and this means
that you can simultaneously cook
different types of foods positioned on
the various oven shelves . Fan cooking
ensures rapid elimination of moisture
and the dryer oven environment stops
the different aromas and flavours from
being transmitted from one food to
another.
- The possibility of cooking on several
shelf heights means that you can cook
several different dishes at the same
time and up to three tins of biscuits
and mini pizzas to be eaten
immediately or subsequently deep
frozen.
- Naturally the oven can also be used
for cooking on just one shelf. In this
case you should use the lowest set of
runners so that you can keep an eye
on progress more easily.
- In addition, the oven is particularly
recommended for sterilizing
preserves, cooking home-made fruit
in syrup, and for drying mushrooms
or fruit.
Grilling
- Most foods should be placed on the
grid in the grill pan to allow maximum
circulation of air and to lift the food
out of the fats and juices. Food such
as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise splashing.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly with
a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed
underneath the grid when grilling
meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that
the top runner position is used.
- The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing
cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds
pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when
blind-baking pastry. It may also be used
to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.
The thermostat control light will
remain on until the correct
temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
Conventional Cooking
- The middle shelf position allows for
the best heat distribution. To increase
base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning,
raise the shelf position.
- 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, while oven glassware,
shiny aluminium or polished steel trays
