· There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
· When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
· DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
· The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
· DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
· Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 22.
· For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
