Lower Oven Cooking Advice

Cooking with Forced Air

Fan cooking is more economical and quicker than cooking in a conventional oven. The moving hot air surrounds the food and penetrates it more quickly than in a conventional oven.

The oven can be filled with different dishes all requiring the same cooking temperature. Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish requiring a cooking time of more than 1 hour and reduce the heat by 10- 20°C; the hotter the oven, the more the temperature can be reduced.

Generally, there is no need to pre-heat the oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for about 5 minutes to ensure the best results; use the indicator light as a guide, it goes out when the set temperature is reached.

Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based dishes and softening ice cream - a microwave oven is much too strong for these dishes. Cooking yeast based dishes is also speeded up this way. If the oven door has been opened, the oven quickly regains its temperature once the door is closed.

Sterilization

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a.  Set the switch to position .

b.  Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven. c.  Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 125 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

Regeneration

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.

Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.

Roasting

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

That it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 °C and 200 °C.

That the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods

With the function selector in position the ventilated oven allows you to cook different types of food at the same time.

Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing. The only precautions required are the following:

–  The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference of 20 - 25 °C between the different foods.

–  Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cooking time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable saving on time and energy.
