ted air circulates evenly throu-
ghout the oven .

more quickly than conventio-
nal static system, therefore
the temperature should be set
15°C - 20°C below the values
recommended in your recipe
books .

ned briefly while cooking as
any heat losses are quickly
recovered when the door is

COOKING WITH FORCED AIR
Fan cooking is more economical and qui-
cker than cooking in a conventional oven .
The moving hot air surrounds the food and
penetrates it more quickly than in a con-
ventional oven .
The oven can be filled with different dishes
all requiring the same cooking temperature .
Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish
requiring a cooking time of more than 1
hour and reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the
hotter the oven, the more the temperature
can be reduced .
Generally, there is no need to pre-heat
the oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for
about 5 minutes to ensure the best results;
use the indicator light as a guide, it goes
out when the set temperature is reached .
Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based
dishes and softening ice cream - a micro-
wave oven is much too strong for these
dishes .
Cooking yeast based dishes is also spee-
ded up this way . If the oven door has been
opened, the oven quickly regains its tem-
perature once the door is closed .
