PROFI HOT AIR COOKING
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5
–10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
