RECOMMENDED USEANDTIPS
Cooking different foods at the same time
Using the Forced Air function, you can cook different foods that require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example:
fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food that requires less cooking time and leave food that requires longer
cooking time in the oven.
Desserts
• Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark colored metal cake tins and always position them
on the oven rack supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins
on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.
• To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean,
the cake is ready.
• If using nonstick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
• If the cake "sinks" during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and
mixing more gently.
• For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies), use the Convection Bake function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower
the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with bread crumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.
Meat
• Use any kind of oven tray or glass dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For pieces of roast, it is best to add
some stock to the bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking for added flavor. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the
oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminum foil.
• When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick
pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To keep the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the oven rack,
keeping the food farther away from the grill.
• Turn the meat two-thirds of the way through cooking.
• To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip tray with 1/2qt (1/2 L) of water directly under the grill on which the meat is
placed. Add more water if necessary.
Pizza
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two-thirds of the way through
cooking.
Rising
It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by
approximately one-third compared to proving at room temperature 68-77°F (20-25°C). Proving time for a 2.2 Ib (1 kg) batch of pizza
dough is around one hour.
How to Read the Cooking Chart
The following table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time.
Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and
times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values
to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark
colored metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in glass or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking
times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied)
to be placed on the various shelves.
