2. USING THE OVEN
2.1 Cooking tips
●
When baking or broiling, it is advisable to always pre-heat the oven to the desired
temperature, to get the best possible cooking results.
●
Oil the grilled exterior before placing food in the oven to be grilled.
●
Place the baking tray under the wire rack in order to avoid oil dropping down to the bottom
and bottom heater.
●
If the food to be cooked is oily or greasy, you can use two pieces of oil-aluminum foils.
Place one piece on the baking tray and use the other piece to cover the foods. This
avoids oil/grease splashing during cooking.
