Cooking with a Multifunction Oven
Remember: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The
oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.
Using Your Induction Cooker
If you have not used an induction cooker before please
be aware of the following:
Make sure that the pans you have or buy are suitable
for use on the induction hob. Stainless steel,
enamelled steel or cast iron is ideal. Double check
before you buy pans – they must have bases that
would attract a magnet.
Allow time to get used to induction cooking; it is
fast and powerful as well as being gentle. When
simmering, you may notice that liquids appear
to stop bubbling and then start again almost
immediately. This is perfectly normal.
You may notice a faint vibrating sound coming from
the pans when using the induction hob. Again,
this is perfectly normal and will depend upon the
type and style of pans you are using.
The induction heating elements will phase on and
off when cooking. Although an active cooking
zone may appear to switch on and off, a constant
heat is still being supplied to the base of the pan
– this is completely normal.
3. Cooking Tips
General Oven Tips
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back
of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed
level with the front edge of the oven’s wire shelves. Other
containers should be placed centrally.
Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven,
as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a
baking tray is 340 mm (13½”) by 340 mm (13½”).
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very
hot.
•
Always leave a “finger’s width” between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
•
To help keep your oven clean, cover meat when
roasting, with foil or use a roasting bag.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot
fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly
with cooking oil.
•
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
•
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat
the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in
the centre of the tray.
