Cooking Advice - Smeg C9CMXA1 Manual

Fan-assisted circular
The combination of the fan and the
circular element (incorporated in the
rear of the oven) allows you to cook
different foods on several levels, as
long as they need the same
temperatures and same type of
cooking. 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.
Defrosting
Rapid defrosting is helped by
switching on the fan provided and
the top heating element that ensure
uniform distribution of low
temperature air inside the oven.

3.8 Cooking advice

General advice
• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform 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).
• Using more ovens at the same time might
affect the final cooking results.
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.

Use
• 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-assisted 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-assisted grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend
that you turn the temperature knob to the
maximum value near the
symbol to optimise cooking.
• Foods should be seasoned before
cooking. Foods should also be coated
with oil or melted butter before cooking.
• Use the oven tray on the first bottom shelf
to collect fluids produced by grilling.
• Grilling processes should never last more
than 60 minutes using multifunction
ovens, 30 minutes inside the auxiliary
oven.
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use preferably dark metal moulds: they
help to absorb the heat better.
• Temperature and cooking time depend
on the quality and consistency of the
dough.
