Shelf
positions
are not
critical but
ensure
that oven
shelves
are evenly
spaced
when more
than one is
used.
Runner 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.
Hints and Tips
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.
