Top Oven/Grill Cookery Notes

 

The Top Oven is fitted with fixed ‘Stayclean’ sides and one rod shelf. It is

 

heated by two elements – the grill element and an element under the

 

floor of the oven—and has a fully variable temperature control like the

 

main oven. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting

 

the required temperature as recommended in the Top Oven temperature

 

chart. The indicator light will immediately come on and remain on until the

 

oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go

 

off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct

 

temperature.

Top Oven for

The Top Oven is used in exactly the same way as the Main Oven to

Cooking

cook all types of food. It can either be used alone, to cook small

 

quantities of food, or in conjunction with the main oven to provide

 

additional cooking space, so often necessary when entertaining.

 

There are two cooking positions – the shelf placed directly on the

 

floor of the oven, or runner 1 from the floor of the oven. To correctly

 

position the rod shelf the side rods with “indents” must be

 

uppermost and to the rear, this forms an ‘arrest’ position in

 

conjunction with the embossed side liners. The correct positioning of

 

food is indicated in the temperature charts on the following pages.

 

These 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. Food must never be

 

placed directly on the floor of the oven with out a shelf in position, and

 

there should always be at least 25mm (1”) between the top of the food

 

and the grill element. Most foods are cooked at a lower temperature

 

in the smaller top oven than in a larger conventional main oven.

 

Always ensure a 7.5cm (3") gap is left at the front of the baking tray to

 

ensure even cooking. Do not use utensils larger than 300mm (12") x

 

230mm (9"). Large utensils should be used in the main oven.

Cooking Meat/

The Top Oven is most useful for the longer, slower cooking required

for cheaper cuts of meat – casserole cooking, pot roasting, braising

etc.

 

Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs) or poultry up to 2.5kg (6 lbs)

 

in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the Top Oven, but

 

should preferably be ‘slow roasted’ or covered with a lid of

 

aluminium foil (one or two incisions in the top of the foil will allow

 

the meat or poultry to brown). Always ensure that there is at least

 

25mm (1”) between the top of the foil and the grill element. Do not

 

use the meat pan supplied for the main oven or the grill pan for

 

roasting in the Top Oven. Larger joints of meat weighing more than

 

l.5kg (3 lbs) or poultry weighing more than 2.5kg (6 lbs) should be

 

roasted in the main oven.
