Cooking Advice And Instructions - Smeg Oven Instructions For The User

CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of
the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they
need the same temperature and same type of cooking operation. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for
instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing odours and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to
ensure uniform distribution of low-temperature air inside the oven.

9.1 Cooking advice and instructions

9.1.1 General advice
• We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. Place the food in the oven only once
the cooking light is off.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform
cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could
be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to
avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.
• For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function.
9.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on
the roast with a spoon: if it is hard it is ready, if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
9.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into
the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set
temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
