The Borosil Prima 30 L OTG offers various modes for diverse cooking needs:

• Grilling: Perfect for vegetables, paneer, and open-faced sandwiches. Use the Upper Heating mode.
• Roasting: Suitable for meats like chicken, potatoes, and larger vegetables. Use Upper & Lower Heating, possibly with convection for faster, even cooking.
• Toasting: For bread, bagels, or small snacks. Use Upper Heating or Upper & Lower Heating.
• Convection Technology: The integrated fan circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven chamber, resulting in faster cooking times and more uniform browning. This is particularly useful for baking and roasting.
• Motorised Rotisserie: Designed for roasting whole chickens, large cuts of meat, or kebabs. The automated rotation ensures uniform grilling and browning on all sides.
