cooking guide

• S elect the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
• M ake sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
• K eep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the
side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and
ensures even cooking.
• D o not open the oven door more than necessary.
• D o not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with
other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
• A fter the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some
time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
• D o not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will
prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and the
oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave varnish like
residue which is very difficult to remove.
• W hen cooking things which require a high heat from
below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray
in the desired shelf position.
• F or sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or
non-stick utensils.
