11.COOKING IN THE OVEN
11.1 Description of the selected functions
ECO:
Using the grill and the bottom heating element is particularly suitable for cooking small
quantities of food, as it provides low energy consumption.
STATIC :
As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly
suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal
radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of
roasts, bread, and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose
and duck.
GRILL:
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and
medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (when present) gives the
food an even browning at the end of the cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon.
This function allows you to grill large quantities of food, particularly meat, evenly.
ROTISSERIE GRILL:
(on some models only)
The rotisserie functions in combination with the grill element give a perfect browning to
food.
FAN-ASSISTED STATIC:
The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even
with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on
several levels.
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving
perfect grilling even to very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shank of pork).
FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM:
The combination of the fan with only the bottom heating element allows cooking to be
completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the
cooking of foods already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a
little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven)
allows you to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperatures and cooking time. Air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of
heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously
without mixing smells and flavours.
TURBO :
The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows you to cook
different foods on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently.
Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.
THAWING :
Rapid thawing is helped by switching on the fan provided and the top heating element that
ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven. In certain models this
function integrates the proving. The choice to thaw or to prove depends on the temperature
selected. Set the temperature to choose the function: thawing (30°C) or proving (40°C).
