Uses, Tables and Tips Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only. Heat setting Cookingprocess suitable for Cooking time Tips/Hints Residual heat, Off position 0 Keeping food warm Keeping cooked foods warm as required Cover Melting Hollandaise sauce, melting butter, chocolate, gelatine 5-25 mins. Stir occasionally Solidifying Fluffy omelettes, baked eggs 10-40 mins.
3 1 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time finish cooking on the desired heat setting. Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby. Baking Oven function: Professional hot air or Conventional Baking tins • For Conventional dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Professional hot air bright metal tins are also suitable.
3 2 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional or Professional hot air you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
