TrueAero is a very flexible method of cooking. A concealed heating element surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air which is then blown into the cavity. The consistent temperature creates an ideal oven environment giving baking which is well risen and evenly colored. Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry is delicously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient. TrueAero is the mode to choose for
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and lower concealed elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using the AeroBake mode tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on conventional modes like Bake. AeroBake is great for crisping pastry in lemon meringue pie and vegetable phyllo parcels. AeroBake at a low temperature (120°F / 50°C) is ideal for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
BAKE
Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. Bake is the conventional cooking mode, suitable for single shelf cooking. It is ideal for foods that require long cooking periods or cooking at low temperatures, like meringues and rich fruitcakes. Bake at 100°F / 30°C is great for proofing bread.
Heat from the lower concealed element is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the oven fan. Excellent for sweet and savory pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and cookies that you want extra chewy. AeroPastry is the mode we recommend for the pizza stone.
PASTRY BAKE
Uses the heat from the lower element only, this is a traditional cooking mode which is suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best results, cook on only one shelf at a time. Perfect for foods that require delicate cooking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the top surface.
WARM
Warm is a constant low heat of 165°F / 75°C. It is excellent for keeping cooked food hot and warming plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold; use TrueAero and change to Warm when the food is hot, as this mode will not bring cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria.
