Cooking with a Multi-function Oven
Remember: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The
oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.
Tips on Cooking with the Timer
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that
require approximately the same cooking time. However,
dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers
and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’
slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing them in
larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or sh should be avoided
if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.
DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.
DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before being
placed in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.
3. Cooking Tips
General Oven Tips
The wire racks should always be pushed rmly to the back of
the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level
with the front edge of the oven’s wire racks. Other containers
should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away
from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very
hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes on the
same rack. This allows the heat to circulate freely around
them.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot
fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly
with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to
warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat
the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in
the center of the tray.
