MAIN OVEN

- FAN COOKING

The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven, around the fan Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.

The operation of the controls is covered on "The Controls". See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.

To use the oven proceed as follows:

The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven.

Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Preheating is not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven (see cooking charts).

Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the food.
