Preheating is generally not necessary as a
fan oven warms up quickly.
4
There is no flavour transference in a fan
oven, which means you can cook strong
smelling foods such as fish at the same
time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.
4
When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the rise.
Notes:
4
When 2 or more shelves are being used, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking
time slightly.
4
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to
cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria
sandwiches or 2 casseroles.
4
When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due in
part to the lower oven temperatures, and
will help keep cleaning of the oven to a
minimum.
4
Because a fan oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, there
is no need to follow the shelf positions
given in the baking guide.
4
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
Defrosting
and cooling in the main
oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the oven control to the
defrost position, place the food in the centre of the
oven and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or
freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost
position and open the door.
Defrosting times
4
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
4
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
4
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
4
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will
take approximately 5 hours, remove the
giblets as soon as possible.
Be safe
4
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
4
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method.
