Cooking Guide
CONVECTION
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food
in a traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan are situated on the back-wall, so that the hot air
is circulating.
Cookware for convection cooking:
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you
would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Food suitable for convection cooking:
All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as
well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés.
MICRCONVECTION
This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore
reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food
in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.
