Main Oven Cookery Notes

 

The oven is fitted with ‘Stay Clean’ liners and two rod shelves.

 

To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the

 

required temperature 80˚C (175˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended

 

in the temperature chart. The indicator light will immediately come on

 

and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This

 

light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven

 

thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

 

It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a

 

momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will

 

disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an

 

oven with a good door seal.

 

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at

 

a lower temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is

 

often unnecessary. However food such as bread, scones, Yorkshire

 

pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.

 

The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures

 

and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to

 

increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold

 

oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot

 

oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending

 

on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire ovens is very even,

 

most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the

 

shelves should be evenly spaced. Do not fit shelves upside down.

 

The Top Oven rod shelf can be used in the Main Oven when cooking large

 

quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your

 

oven supplier or Spares Centre. Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven

 

as air circulation will be seriously restricted. To ensure even circulation do

 

not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15" x 12") and baking trays

 

no larger than 330 x 255mm (13" x 10"), these should be positioned

 

centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor

 

of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in

 

use should be removed from the oven.

Temperature

When three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for

and Time

home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the

 

cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of

 

heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the large mass of

 

food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap at either side of the oven.

N.B. Recipes in cookery books give times and temperatures for cooking in ordinary ovens. The introduction of improved thermal insulation on fan ovens makes it possible, in most cases, to reduce

(a) the recommended temperature by 25˚C (45˚F) and

(b)the recommended time by approximately 10 minutes per hour.
