USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC FANNED
To help the air circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within the oven
and maintain a clearance from the oven
roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or baking
tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a
gap of at least 25mm between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
Defrosting and cooling in the main oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven
control to the defrost position, place the
food in the centre of the oven and close
the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the main
oven control to the defrost position and
open the door.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat
- eg; fish filets, prawns & mince will take
approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will take
approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 1½kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will take
approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets
as soon as possible.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat and
poultry on a trivet in a meat tin.
Main oven baking guide
Cooking times & temperatures
The temperature settings and times given
in the baking guide are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used it may be necessary to
reduce the temperature setting.
Allow enough space between shelves for
food that will rise during cooking.
Do not place items on the oven base as
this will prevent air circulating freely.
