COOKING GUIDE
COOKING METHOD
NOTE
BAKING
Place food in a metal, silicon or tempered glass baking pan with maximum 30 cm diameter Leave enough
room for the flow of hot air around the food. You may also use aluminium foil or aluminium foil containers.
Consult the chart inside for guidelines regarding baked foods If the baked food starts browning too quickly
reduce the temperature or cover it with baking paper or aluminium foil
Alternatively you can pre-heat the oven or use an extender ring to create more space between heating element
and food
BROILING
Place the food directly on the two-way rack For very thick cuts of meats, turn the food at the halfway point
Like roasting, broiling time may vary depending on cut, size, amount of fat, etc
STEAMING
You can steam vegetables at the same time you cook your main dish by placing the vegetables in an aluminium
foil pouch: add a few drops of water and seal the pouch
You can also add a cup of water in the bottom pot, with savoury herbs and spices to steam fish or vegetables.
FRYING
You can get the effect of deep-fried French fries without all the oil, simply by dipping potato strips in
polyunsatrated cooking oil, allow the excess oil to drain away and cook according to cooking guide
To make delicious fried chicken: dip chicken pieces in batter and then in cooking oil, drain excess oil and cook
according to chart provided

HINT:
Before cooking you can spray the two-way rack

with an non-stick spray or oil to prevent food
sticking to the racks
Cooking time depends on the size, weight, type etc of the food to
be cooked Most meats come with recommended cooking times,
but since halogen ovens cook faster than conventional ovens, you
may need to adjust the cooking time
To ensure the food is cooked properly, use a cooking thermometer
or pierce the food with a fork or skewer to check for signs of it
being uncooked When cooking vegetables check for tenderness
Always check your food is ful ly cooked before serving
Distribute the food evenly in the halogen oven to ensure an even
flow of air can circulate all around the food Avoid stacking food in an
attempt to cook more food, if air cannot circulate around the food, you
will only fully cook the top Always leave spaces for the air to travel
Cooking time may vary according to the weight of the food and individual
taste When you become familiar with the oven you will be able to
determine the best cooking times and temperatures to suit your personal
preference Using the tongs to remove the cooking racks is advisable
