When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table ) then ,to prevent fat and grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming ,place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
When using this mode ,we advise you to set the thermostat to 200
℃
,as it is the most efficient way to use the grill ,which is based on the
use of infrared rays .However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then,
to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven .Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly. Do not open
the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping .In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10
℃
and reduce the cooking time .
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10
℃
.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
The Pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.
I used more than one level (in the function
“
ventilated oven
”
) and they are not all at the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting .It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza ,use the
“
Pizza Mode
”
:
·
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes ;
·
Use a light aluminum pizza pan ,placing it on the grid supplied with the oven .If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking
time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;
·
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking ;
·
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four ),we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking
process .
·
When cooking pizza on two racks ,use the 2nd and 4th with a temperature of 220
℃
and place the pizzas in the oven after having
preheated it for at least 10 minutes .
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat ,fowl and fish ,use temperature setting from 180
℃
to 200
℃
.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside ,it is a good idea to start with a high temperature
setting (200
℃
-220
℃
)for a short time ,then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the center of the grid and place the dripping pan
beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven .If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the
low rack heights .For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
