USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table indicates the best function to use for any

given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves

at the same time . Cooking times start from the

moment food is placed in the oven, excluding pre-

heating (where required) . Cooking temperatures

and times are purely for guidance and will depend

on the amount of food and type of accessory used .

Use the lowest recommended settings to begin

with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then

switch to higher settings . Use the accessories

supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake

tins and baking trays . You can also use Pyrex pans

and accessories or ones made from china, but bear

in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer .

For best results, follow the recommendations in the

cooking table carefully when selecting which of

the supplied accessories to place on which of the

shelves .

COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME

Using the "Convection Bake" function, you can cook

different foods simultaneously (for example: fish

and vegetables), using different shelves . Switch

shelves two thirds of the way through cooking,

if necessary . Remove the food which requires a

shorter cooking time and leave the food which

requires a longer cooking time in the oven .

DESSERTS

- Cook delicate desserts with the conventional

function on one shelf only . Use dark-coloured

metal baking pans and always place them on the

wire shelf supplied . To cook on more than one

shelf, select the "Convection bake" function and

position the baking pans on different shelves to

facilitate the circulation of hot air .

- Use dark-coloured metal baking pans and always

place them on the wire shelf supplied .

- To check whether a leavened cake is cooked,

insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the

cake . If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is

ready .

If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges

as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges .

- If the item "swells" during baking, use a lower

temperature next time and consider reducing the

amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture

more gently .

- For desserts with moist fillings or toppings (such

as cheesecake or fruit tarts), use the "Convection

bake" function . If the base of the cake is soggy,

lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake

with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding

the filling .

MEAT

- Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited

to the size of the piece of meat being cooked .

For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to

the bottom of the dish, basting the meat during

cooking for added flavour . Please note that steam

will be generated during this operation . When the

roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-

15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil .

- When grilling pieces of meat, choose cuts of the

same thickness to obtain even cooking . Very thick

pieces of meat require longer cooking times . To

prevent the meat from burning on the outside,

lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the

food farther away from the grill . Turn the meat two

thirds of the way through cooking . Take care when

opening the door as steam will escape .

To collect the cooking juices, we recommend

placing a dripping pan filled with 200 ml of

drinking water directly underneath the wire shelf

on which the food is placed . Refill as necessary .

PIZZA

Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a

crispy base . Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza

two thirds of the way through cooking .
