[. . . ] Always use oven gloves to remove and place food in the oven. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. Ensure that all vents are not obstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity. Never line any part of the appliance with foil. [. . . ] Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. · · 21 · When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element. Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required. · · · GRILLING CHART FOOD Bacon Rashers Beefburgers Chicken Joints Chops ­ Lamb Pork Fish ­ Whole Trout/Mackerel Fillets Plaice/Cod Kebabs Kidneys ­ Lamb/Pig Liver ­ Lamb/Pig Sausages Steaks ­ Rare Medium Well Done Toasted Sandwiches thicknesses of food Adjust grill setting and grill pan grid to suit different 20 - 30 6 - 12 12 - 16 14 - 20 3-4 POSITION GRILL TIME (mins in total) 5-6 10 - 15 30 - 40 15 - 20 20 - 30 15 - 25 10 - 15 20 - 30 8 - 12 10 - 20 The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. 22 THE MAIN OVEN The main 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. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. If an automatic programme has been set, the oven light does not come on until cooking begins. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as damage will occur. 25 HINTS AND TIPS · Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven. · The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning raise, the shelf position. · There should always be at least 2. 5cm (1") between the top of the food and the grill 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 will affect the degree of 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 baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position. · 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. 26 MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only.
