BAKING – PRACTICAL HINTS
Roasting
The roasting process occurs as a result of heat rays
emitted by element, which are absorbed by the
food.
In order to switch on the roaster you need to:
• Choose one of the heating functions .
• Heat the oven for approx. 5 minutes (with the
oven door shut).
• Insert a tray onto the appropriate cooking
level; and if you are roasting directly on wire
rack, insert a tray for dripping on the level
immediately below (under the wire rack).
• Close the oven door.
IMPORTANT
When roasting it is recommended that the
oven door is closed. When the roaster is in
use accessible parts can become hot. It is
best to keep children away from the oven.
Baking
• We recommend using the baking trays which are
provided with your cooker.
• It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays
bought elsewhere. For baking it is better to
use black trays which conduct heat better and
shorten the baking time.
• Tins and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are
not recommended when using the conventional
heating method (top and bottom elements), use
of such tins may result in undercooking the base
of cakes.
• When using the ultra-fan function, it is not
necessary to pre-heat the oven. For other types
of heating you should pre-heat the oven before
the cake is inserted.
• Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check
if it is ready using a wooden stick (if the cake is
ready the stick should come out dry and clean).
• After switching off the oven, it is advisable to
leave the cake inside the oven to rest for 5 mins.
• Temperatures using the ultra-fan function are
usually around 20 – 30 degrees lower than
normal baking modes (using top and bottom
elements).
• The baking parameters given in the table on the
next page are approximate and can be corrected
based on your own experience and cooking
preferences.
• If information given in recipe books is
significantly different from the values included
in this instruction manual, please apply
instructions from the manual.
Roasting meat
• Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven.
• Smaller pieces should be cooked on the stove top
for efficiency.
• Use heatproof ovenware for roasting, ensure the
handles are resistant to high temperatures.
• When roasting on the drying rack or the grate we
recommend that you place a baking tray with a
small amount of water on the lowest level of the
oven.
• It is advisable to turn the meat over at least
once during the roasting time and baste the
meat with its juices or with hot salty water. Do
not pour cold water over roasting meat.
