B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath browning. Lower Temperatures Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20- 25°C for your own recipes, which use conventional cooking. Even Heating for Baking The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required temperature. Defrosting The defrosting function allows you to defrost frozen foods. The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e. g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products. HINTS AND TIPS · Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to prevent drying out during defrosting. · Small or thin pieces of fish fillet or peeled prawns, mince, liver and thin chops will defrost in 1-2 hours. Ensure that they are cooked or refrigerated immediately after defrosting to maintain good foodhygiene. To switch on the grill, turn the oven function control knob to GRILL, then turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature . Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. 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 underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is controlled by the thermostat. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight. [. . . ] Refit the door by reversing the operation described above. 20 The Hob Top The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: · household detergent and bleaches; · impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; · steel wool pads; · bath/sink stain removers. Drying Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium setting for a few minutes. Restoring To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative agent periodically. To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. [. . . ]
