OVEN COOKING TIPS

• For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
• Select the correct shelf location for food being
cooked.
• One of the grill trays can be used in the oven as a
baking dish.
• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you
switch it on.
• Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the
side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat
and ensures even cooking.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven
with other foods. This will cause food to steam and
not brown.
• After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some
time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will
prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and
the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue
which is very difficult to remove.
• When cooking foods which require a high heat from
below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone
tray in the desired shelf position.
• For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright
finished or non-stick utensils.
• Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting
or baking.
