Conventional oven (top and
base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top
and base elements. It is particularly suitable for
roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and
crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the
heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the
base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’ function. Similar
items being cooked will need to be swapped
around for even cooking. This means that foods
requiring different temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half
of the oven and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top
of the oven only. It is a useful function for the
browning or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables
in sauce, shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to
be browned being already hot before switching
to the top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only.
It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or
fi nish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a
lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow
cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven
or for plate warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are
useful additions to your oven, giving you
fl ex
i bil i ty to fi nish off items to perfection. With
use, you will soon realise how these functions
can com bine to extend your cooking skills.
