HINTS AND TIPS

All cooking should be carried out using shelf positions one and two. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. Shelf position

l3 should be reserved for grilling only.

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally below the element.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help

lreduce cleaning.

DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.

The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the

lrecommendations on page 22.

For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

DO NOT place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.
