TH E M A IN OVEN
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking
are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 –
10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For
recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals
always preheat the oven first.
COOK I NG TE MPERA T URES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As
a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for
your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
