  Tammy ThompsonAug 16, 2025
  Uneven cooking in your Chef cooking Cookers can occur due to several reasons. Ensure the shelf position places the food in the center of the oven. An oversized oven tray can also cause this issue, so try using different trays or dishes. Make sure trays are placed in the center, and for even air flow, rotate the food during cooking. Also, remove the grill tray when using bake modes, as it can affect the thermostat.

  If your baked goods are browning too quickly on top in your Chef cooking Cookers, make sure you preheat the oven properly. Also, verify that your baking tins are the correct size for the recipe. Stagger the baking tins, ensuring there's at least 3cm of space between them and the oven walls. Ensure products are evenly sized and spaced on the trays.

  If your baked goods are browning too much on the bottom in your Chef cooking Cookers, be sure you are using the correct size baking tins. Avoid dark metal or glass tins; switch to shiny, light-colored tins or lower the oven temperature by 10°C. Place your food one shelf higher in the oven. Refrain from opening the oven door frequently during baking until at least half the cooking time has passed. Lower the oven temperature if it's too high and remove the grill tray from oven on bake modes.
