Cooking Advice - Smeg BG91IX9 Instructions Manual

Eco
This function is particularly suitable
for cooking on a single shelf with
low energy consumption.
It is recommended for all types of
food, excluding those that can
create a lot of humidity (such as
vegetables).
To obtain maximum energy savings
and reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the door during
cooking.
Cooking (and preheating) times
are longer with the ECO function.
The ECO function is a delicate
cooking function and is
recommended for food
withstanding temperatures lower
than 210 °C; in case of cooking
at higher temperatures, select
another function.
Vapour Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a
small quantity of water poured onto
the appropriate groove placed on
the bottom.

3.6 Cooking advice

General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the Fan grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
