USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

FAN GRILLING

As with the Circulaire oven fan cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small chickens.

TEMPERATURES

These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints,

such as veal, which, because of its low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.

1.Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See Chart).

2.There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be carried out with the oven door closed, this saves energy. The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.

3.After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the pan supplied with the anti-splash trivet in position. It is important that the anti-splash trivet is used, as it will stop the splashing of fat and help keep the oven clean.

4.Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.

5.Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g. stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely defrosted before it is cooked.

6.When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in the table and cook for a longer time per kg.

7.When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn breast uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking stuffed poultry allow slightly longer cooking time.
