The Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel.The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.

The advantages of cooking with this function are:

l Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc.

lLower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.

Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20- 25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.

l Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions.

This means that batches of the same food can be cooked

in the oven at the same time. However, the top shelf may

brown slightly quicker than the lower one.

This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours

between dishes.

N O T E

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the oven has only been used for a short time.

Hints and Tips

Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves are evenly spaced.

When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes on one shelf.

When the oven is full, you may need to allow a slightly longer cooking time.

A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.

When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and removed from the oven together.When different sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready together.

The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on the quantity of food in the oven).

The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven browning. Check with the recommendations for oven temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepared to adjust the temperature by 10 °C if necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.

The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.
