HINTS AND TIPS
• All cooking should be carried out using an oven
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
• There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings,
etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread,
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on
the shelf.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray or dish to allow for maximum circulation.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
• DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
• Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.
• For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
