Chef 540 Upright Cooker GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS 7
Hints general
• For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes
• The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will
affect the way foods are baked, especially base browning.
• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or non-
stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining
or reducing the baking time and increase base browning
• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors
of heat. The shiny surface of aluminium or polished steel
utensils and trays also reflects the heat rather then passing
it through to the food being baked
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning
• Stand casseroles dishes or similar-type dishes on suitably
sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of
oven to make cleaning of oven easier
•
DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans
directly on the oven base as they become very hot and
will crack and craze the oven liner
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C
• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm
(12 x 14 inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the
heat and may affect cooking performance of the oven
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven.
Fan Forced
• DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven
• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced
• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven,
place dishes centrally on shelves rather than several
dishes on one shelf
• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly
longer baking time
• When using different size trays or cooking different types
of food, cooking times may vary for each dish.
TIPS & INFORMATION
General tips
Condensation and Steam
• Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven
door to allow any build-up of steam or heat to release
• During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is quite normal
• If there is any build-up of condensation on the oven door
it is recommended that it be carefully wiped away either
during or after cooking.
