7. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
ECO:
Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is
particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it
provides low energy consumption.
STATIC:
As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this
system is particularly suitable for certain types of food.
Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation
cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect
for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case
particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.
GRILL:
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling
results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in
combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the
food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. (3
rd
or
4
th
runner).
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to
be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperature and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for
instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously
(on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1
st
and 3
rd
runners.)
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave
generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling even with very thick
foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork). We
recommend using the 3rd runner.
In pyrolytic models, this function also includes defrosting and
proving, see 7.4 Proving and defrosting functions.
