HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and
level to use to cook various different types of food .
Cooking times start from the moment food is placed
in the oven, excluding preheating (where required) .
Cooking temperatures and times are approximate
and depend on the amount of food and the type of
accessory used .
Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with
and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to
higher settings .
Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-
coloured metal cake tins and baking trays . You can
also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories,
but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly
longer .
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
The “Forced Air” function enables you to cook
different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on
different shelves at the same time .
Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking
time and leave the food which requires a longer
cooking time in the oven .
DESSERTS
Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function
on one shelf only .
Use dark-coloured metal baking pans and always
place them on the wire shelf supplied .
To cook on more than one shelf, select the “Forced
Air” function and position the cake tins on different
shelves to facilitate the circulation of hot air .
To check whether a leavened cake is fully cooked,
insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake .
If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready .
If using non-stick baking pans, do not butter the
edges as the dessert may not rise evenly around the
edges .
If the item “swells” during baking, use a lower
temperature next time and consider reducing the
amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more
gently .
Desserts with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies)
require the use of the "Convection Bake" function .
If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and
sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or
biscuit crumbs before adding the filling .
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 .
PROVING
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 (20-25°C) .
The rising time for pizza starts at around one hour for
1 kg of dough .
MEAT
Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the
size of the piece of meat being cooked .
For roast meat, it is best to add some stock to the
bottom of the pan, basting the meat during cooking
for added flavour . When the roast is ready, let it rest
in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in
aluminium 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 prevent the meat from
burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire
shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill .
Turn the meat two-thirds of the way through cooking .
To collect the cooking juices, place a drip tray with
half a litre of water directly under the grill on which
the meat is placed . Top-up when necessary .
