Main oven fan cooking
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities
of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually
necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however,
you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the
recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals
always preheat the oven first.
Cooking temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than
conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended
in the cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by about
20°C – 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful
when batch baking.
