Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Since a fan oven heats up more

quickly, and generally cooks food at

a lower temperature than a

conventional oven, pre-heating the

oven is often unnecessary. However,

foods such as bread, scones

Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from

being placed in a pre-heated oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving

approximate cooking temperatures

and times. To suit personal taste

and requirements, it may be

necessary to increase or decrease

temperatures by 10˚C.

Because the fan oven cooks so

efficiently, we recommend that

when cooking any recipes not

designed for a fan oven, you reduce

the temperature by about 25˚C and

the time by about 10 minutes in

the hour. If large quantities are

being cooked it will be necessary to

increase the cooking time somewhat

to compensate for the extra

oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the

charts, food is placed in a cold

oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If

food is placed in an already hot oven,

the suggested cooking time should

be reduced, depending on the type

and quantity of food being cooked.

It should be noted that at the end of

a cooking period there may be a

momentary puff of steam when the

oven door is opened, this will

disperse in a few seconds and is a

perfectly normal characteristic of

an oven with a good door seal.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the

fan oven is very even, most foods

will cook satisfactorily on any shelf

position, but the shelves should be

evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not

use meat pans larger than 390 x

300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking

trays no larger than 330 x 255mm

(13ins x 10ins), these should be

positioned centrally on the oven

shelf.

– Do not fit shelves upside down.

– Never use more than 3 shelves in

the oven as air circulation will be

restricted.

– Food or cooking utensils should

not be placed on the floor of the

oven.

To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod

shelves which are not in use should

be removed from the oven.
