Hints and Tips

There should always be at least 2.5 cm between
the top of the food and the element. This gives
the best cooking results and allows room for rise
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc.
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread,
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally
below element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food.
Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils increase
base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base browning
of the food.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a preheated oven.

Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air 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.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
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
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf as necessary,
during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking,
as required.
NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is
controlled by the thermostat. During cooking,
the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the
meat and not on its weight.
