When it comes to baking, your Astro oven gives you an outstanding choice of
options (refer to Cooking Options on pages 6 & 7).
Tips for successful baking
Set your oven to pre-heat while you prepare, many baked items don’t like to
be kept waiting for the oven.
Use baking paper to line cake tins and biscuit trays and you’ll eliminate the
need for greasing.
Read your recipe right through and assemble the ingredients on the bench
before you start, you’ll save yourself a lot of panics.
You may find temperatures on Fan Bake need to be lowered.
Warning: Do not use fat filter when cooking baked products or fan
functions.
Some foods are best cooked on particular functions. For example rich fruit
cakes and single cakes are best cooked on Bake without fan.
A single tray of baking works best using bake, however if 2 or more trays
are cooked on Bake they will need to be interchanged during cooking to
ensure an evenly cooked product.
Fan Bake is great for pastry products such as bacon and egg and apple
pies as pastry crisps up well. You should always centre baking tins on trays.
Multi shelf cooking can be used with Fan Forced and Fan Bake. When
cooking 2 trays on Fan Bake cooking times may be longer and you may
need to remove some foods from the oven at different times.
Fan Forced is well suited to batch baking up to 3 trays at a time for
products like biscuits, scones and meringues.
Refer to the Baking Guide for suggested times, temperature and shelf
positions.
For best results we recommend you bake using the trays supplied with
your oven.
