USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING

Fan

Oven

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.

NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking as air circulation is restricted.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.

OVEN UTENSILS

Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”) Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)

An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one is required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.

TEMPERATURE & TIME

If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to preheat and/or increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.
