THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

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 preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 31 until you are familiar with the lower temperatures associated with Fan oven cooking. As a guide reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The Fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
