Fan plus
With Fan plus food is cooked in a fl ow of hot air.
Fan plus ensures excellent results with no
transfer of aroma or fl avour, giving the oven a
big advantage over the more widely available
fan-assisted oven. It is rarely necessary to pre-
heat the oven. “Fan plus” is particularly useful
for baking certain types of cake and souffl é, and
the fl ow of air around the oven ensures that
items are very evenly cooked and browned.
Conventional heat
Heat generated from the top and bottom of the
oven is the classic oven function, and is ideal for
baking traditional cakes and pies.
Cake plus
Salt dough
Typical salt dough items such as pretzels have a
shiny crust and a sprinkling of crystal salt. The
"Cake plus" programme guarantees the desired
result when cooking salt dough items from
frozen.
Sponge cakes
Moisture levels are controlled particularly well
in the "Cake plus" programme, resulting in very
successful sponge cakes.
Cooking functions
With Combination cooking, up to 10 cooking
stages can be combined in one cooking process.
Bread is baked to perfection thanks to the steam
that is injected in the fi rst few minutes. The
dough rises more effectively to start with before
being browned at a higher temperature, and
then dried at a high temperature with a low
moisture level. This gives the bread its
attractive, glossy crust. If bread is baked with
little or no steam, the starches do not swell as
much, the outer surface dries out, the crust
becomes cracked and it will not stay crisp for
long. See the chapter on bread for further
details.
A moisture level of 95% makes sweet pastry
particularly light and crumbly, so that it melts on
the tongue.
Baking moist dough-based items with additional
steam, does not allow them to dry out
suffi ciently, and as a result they collapse. Items
that have a moist topping such as pizza will not
cook through properly if steam is added, and the
base will not brown properly. Use a conventional
programme for this type of food.
Cook meat to start with at a high temperature
in order to brown the surface. The temperature
is then reduced and the moisture increased so
that the meat cooks evenly. The proteins in the
meat are released, making the meat tender. If
lean meat is cooked without steam, the outer
surface has a tendency to dry out. Cooking with
steam overcomes this problem. Meat can also be
roasted in Combination mode on the rack placed
over the universal tray to catch the juices, which
can then be made into a gravy.
