Tips for successful broiling
Position the oven shelves before you turn the oven on.
To make cleaning the broil/roast system easier, spray the rack, grid and inside of the pan with a
light coating of non-stick cooking spray before use.
For best results allow the broil element to warm up for a minute or two before putting food in
the oven.
Use the timer to time the broiling process if desired.
Keep the oven door closed.
We recommend using the three-piece broil/roast system provided with your AeroTech® oven.
This has been specifically designed to reduce splatter and smoke. If you do use other glass or
ceramic dishes and pans, be sure that they can withstand the high temperature of the broil.
Basting lean meat, fish or chicken with a marinade or juices while broiling will add flavour and
moisture.
If turning meat halfway through the cooking time, use tongs or a spatula. Avoid piercing meat
with a knife or fork as this will allow juices to escape, making the meat less moist.
Baking
Tips for successful baking
When baking, make sure the cake tins do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
Stagger tins across shelves if necessary and use TRUEAERO for multi-shelf cooking. Do not
open the oven door until at least
3
/

through the suggested cooking time.
Baking pans that are made of dark, dull metals are recommended in appliances with a
concealed lower element like the AeroTech® oven. They absorb heat and often cook and
brown food faster than reflective, shiny aluminum pans and sheets.
Important!
Do not place aluminum foil, dishes with reflective qualities or any object on the oven floor
as this will cause a heat build-up which will result in irreversible damage to the porcelain
enamel.
Multi-shelf cooking
Multi-shelf cooking is very successful using the TRUEAERO mode. The AeroTech® advanced
cooking system allows you to bake several different foods simultaneously on different levels
giving you increased flexibility - as well as saving time. TRUEAERO is well suited to batch
baking of cookies, biscuits, and muffins as well as complete oven meals. See ‘Cooking charts’
for suggested times, temperatures and shelf positions for multi-shelf cooking.
