The roasting oven is zoned in heat, meaning it is slightly
hotter towards the top than the centre and the oven grid
shelf set on the oven oor is slightly less hot than the
centre.
The oor of the oven can be used as another cooking
surface, indeed it is often called a hidden hotplate - for
food needing longer than 30 minutes, such as roast
potatoes, on the oor of the oven you will need to use the
oor grid for protection, so they do not over brown.
The beauty of the roasting oven is that any fat splashes
are burnt o when the oven is at full heat, just brush out
occasionally to get rid of carbon deposits.
The roasting oven is excellent for bread and pastries.
Quiches in ceramic or pies in Pyrex dishes need not be
baked blind as when they are placed on the oor of the
oven the pastry cooks from underneath and the lling will
set and brown from the all-round heat. As you are aware
metal an tins conduct heat quicker than ceramic so
always place them on the oor grid placed on the oor of
the oven to avoid over-base browning.
The specially designed roasting tins and bakeware slide
directly onto the runners, so almost every available
square centimetre of space can be used.
Roasting oven at slumber
When the roasting oven is set at Slumber it can be used to
cook rich fruit cakes or slow cook roasts, casseroles and
curries. With the exception of meringues and rich fruit
cakes, food that is to be slow cooked should be brought
up to heat before placing in an oven at Slumber. The light
will ash when heating up to Slumber, then go solid when
up to temperature.
