4. How to use the oven

General information on baking, roasting and grilling

❗ DANGER: Be careful when opening the oven door as steam may escape. Exiting steam can scald your hands, face and/or eyes.

⚠️ Warning: Do not put metal items such as forks, knives or saucepan covers into your oven since they can get very hot.

Tips for baking

• Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal plates or aluminum vessels or heat-resistant silicone moulds.
• Make best use of the embossed shelf runners.
• Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf.
• Select the correct embossed shelf runner position before turning the oven or grill on. Do not change the shelf position when the oven is hot.
• Keep the oven door closed.

Tips for roasting

• Treating whole chicken, turkey and large pieces of meat with dressings such as lemon juice and black pepper before cooking will increase the cooking performance.
• It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to roast meat with bones when compared to roasting the same size of meat without bones.
• Each centimeter of meat thickness requires approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking time.
• Leave meat in the oven for about 10 minutes after the cooking time is over. The juice is better distributed all over the roast and does not run out when the meat is cut.
• Fish should be placed on the middle or lower shelf in a heat-resistant plate.

Tips for grilling

• When meat, fish and poultry are grilled, they quickly brown, develop a crust and do not dry out quickly. Flat pieces, meat skewers and sausages are particularly suited for grilling as are vegetables with high water content such as tomatoes and onions.
• Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire shelf or in the baking tray on the wire shelf so that the space covered does not exceed the size of the grill element.
• Slide the wire shelf or baking tray into the desired level of the oven. If you are grilling on the wire shelf, slide the baking tray to the lower rack to collect any fats. Add some water in the tray for easy cleaning.

? Foods that are not suitable for grilling create a fire risk. Only grill food which is suitable for intensive grilling heat. Do not place the food too far in towards the back of the grill. This is the hottest area and fatty food may catch fire.

Do not use the top embossed runner for grilling.

Cooking times table

The timings in the chart below are meant as a guide. Timings may vary due to temperature of food, thickness, type and your own preference of cooking.

Suggested temperatures for Thermofan and Conventional ovens

Tips for baking cake

• If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and decrease the cooking time. If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
• If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.
• If cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside, use less liquid, lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.

Tips for baking pastry

• If the pastry is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and decrease the cooking time. Dampen the layers of dough with a sauce composed of milk, oil, egg and yoghurt.
• If the pastry takes too long to bake, pay care that the thickness of the pastry you have prepared does not exceed the depth of the tray. If the upper side of the pastry gets browned, but the lower part is not cooked, make sure that the amount of sauce you have used for the pastry is not too much at the bottom of the pastry. Try to scatter the sauce equally between the dough layers and on the top of pastry for an even browning.
• Cook the pastry in accordance with the mode and temperature given in the cooking table. If the bottom part is still not browned enough, place it on one lower rack next time.

Tips for cooking vegetables

If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid instead of a tray. Closed vessels will preserve the juice of the dish. If a vegetable dish does not get cooked, boil the vegetables beforehand or prepare them like canned food and put in the oven.

How to operate the grill
