Main Oven

 

Cookery Notes

 

The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and

GB

two rod shelves.

 

To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting

 

 

the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and

 

230°C (450°F) as recommended in the temperature

 

chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and

 

remain on until the oven reaches the required

 

temperature. This light will then automatically go off

 

and on during cooking as the oven thermostat

 

maintains the correct temperature.

 

It should be noted that at the end of the cooking

 

period there may be a momentary puff of steam

 

when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in

 

a few seconds and is a perfectly normal

 

characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

 

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more

 

quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower

 

temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is

 

often unnecessary.However, foods such as bread,

 

scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being

 

placed in a pre-heated oven.

 

The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only,

 

giving approximate cooking temperatures and

 

times.To suit personal taste and requirements, it

 

may be necessary to increase or decrease

 

temperatures by 10°C.

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should

 

be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If

 

food is placed in an already hot oven, the

 

suggested cooking time should be reduced,

 

depending on the type and quantity of food being

 

cooked.

Oven positions

Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page).

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the oven for cooking. Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than

330 x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.

Temperature and time

When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.

Frozen meat and poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
