THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. [t is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven, It is designed for cooking on one level and for smaller quantities of food. it gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savory flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80-100°C on the top oven control dial.
HINTS AND TIPS & Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf from the main oven placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and 1o help reduce cleaning.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary io preheat the oven. Without preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles, etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.
