Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches
temperature, it is not usually
necessary to preheat the oven
although you may find that you need
to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on
cooking times. For recipes, which
require higher temperatures, best
results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, souffles, etc.
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional
cooking.
Remember to reduce temperatures
by about 20- 25
°
C for your own recipes,
which use conventional cooking.
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on
all runner positions. This means that
batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown
slightly quicker that the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no
mixing of flavours between dishes.
Defrosting
The defrosting function allows you to
defrost frozen foods. The oven fan
operates without heat and circulates
the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven. This increases the rate at
which defrosting takes place.
This function is particularly suitable
for delicate food which could be
damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread
and other yeast products.
How to use Defrosting
-
Turn the oven function control
knob to the required cooking
function «
Defrost ».
It is not possible to adjust the
temperature.
Hints and Tips
•
Cover food with a lid, aluminium
foil or plastic film to prevent
drying out during defrosting.
•
Place the food to be defrosted
in a single layer where possible
and turn it over half way through
the defrosting process.
•
DO NOT leave food at room
temperature once it is defrosted.
Cook raw food immediately or
store cooked food in the fridge.
•
Take care to follow the basic
rules for hygiene when handling
fresh, frozen, raw and cooked
foods.
