Grilling
-
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air
and to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
-
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to
keep them moist during cooking.
-
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats
-
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used.
-
The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
Conventional Cooking
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the
required cooking function
.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.
If cooking requires moreheat from the top or
from the bottom usethe top or the bottom
runners or turn thecontrol knob to the relevant
positions (bottom heating
and top heating
).
- The middle shelf position allows for the best
heat distribution. To increase base browning
simply lower the shelf position. To increase
top browning, raise the shelf position.
- The material and finish of the baking trays
and dishes used will affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils
increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
- Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to
ensure even browning.
- Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the base of the oven
and make cleaning easier.
-
Do not
place dishes, tins or baking trays
directly on the oven base as it becomes very
hot and damage will occur.When using this
setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom
elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes
which require extra base browning such as
quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra
top browning also cook well in the conventional
oven.
