Cooking Techniques
Roasting• - place meats directly on rack.
Toasting• - place bread directly on rack; can also bring new life to stale food.
Baking• - place food in a metal or tempered glass baking pan, up to 30cm dia.
Steaming• - place food in an aluminium foil pouch with a small amount of water.
Frying• - dip food in cooking oil, allow excess oil to drain and place directly on rack,
or in heat resistant container.
Defrosting• - set temperature to “Thaw” and check every 5-10 minutes.
Cooking from frozen• - reduce suggested temperature on packaging by 20°C,
suggested cooking time by 30-50%.
Remember to distribute food evenly in the Oven to ensure an even ow of air
•
around the food.
You may wish to spray the racks with a non-stick food spray before use to
•
prevent the food sticking.
Cooking Guide

sary to use a container to prevent small food items, such as chips, falling through
the rack.

It can roast, bake, grill, steam, reheat or defrost.2.
Electricity consumption is less than half that of a conventional oven.3.
Food is cooked much more quickly than in a conventional oven.4.
Food retains less fat, lowering calorie and cholesterol consumption.5.
Carrying handles allow food to be brought to the table in the oven bowl.6.
It is easily transported, so can be used away from home.7.
Food is cooked evenly, without drying out, burning or smoke.8.
