RECIPES
Please refer to the Quick reference section for general guidelines regarding the cooking times and
methods.
◆
TO STEAM VEGETABLES
To steam vegetables while you are baking or roasting, simply wrap vegetables in foil. Secure the foil so
that it will not be blown or sucked off by the fan. Place foil wrapped bundles in the convection oven so
that air can circulate around them(you can use the high rack to create a platform above the other foods
already cooking).steaming this way will rack a little longer than steaming in the pot. Fish can also be
cooked in foil, steaming in its own juice. Add a little lemon juice and add a few sliced vegetables.
◆
TO BAKE CAKES
Place cake tin on wire rack in the bowl. lf you require a very moist cake almost no crust, secure a foil
"tent“ over the cake tin. You can remove the foil just before the cake is ready to allow the top to dry out
slightly. Cakes will bake a little quicker in the Convection Oven than they will in a conventional oven.
◆
TO COOK PASTRIES,BISCUITS ETC.
Place in perforated or other dish on wire rack. lf you require a not so crisp finish, Cover with foil for the
first part of cooking. Pastries and biscuits will also cook slightly quicker in the Convection Oven.
HINTS
1. Avoid stacking food in an attempt to cook more food. lf air cannot circulate around the food you will
only fully cook the top. Always leave spaces for air to travel and always use the high rack and perforated
baking dish when necessary.
2.After food is cooked, turn thermostat down and keep fan running to maintain crispness.
3.Remove the top and take the bowl to the table to serve.
4.To make cleaning your convection oven easier, spray the metal surfaces(wire rack, high rack,
perforated tray and underside of the lid)with a cooking spray before each use.
5.A meat thermometer can be used to easily determine the extent of cooking.
