The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc. , best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. It will cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The cooling fan for the controls will operate immediately in conjunction with the thermal grilling function. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed and the grill pan handle removed. l l 27 HINTS AND TIPS l l l Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e. g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc. , are piping hot throughout before serving. A temperature range of 140-220°C and shelf positions 3 and 4 are suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If thermal grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking. COOKING TIMES Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger loads can be cooked at the same time. A general guide to cooking times is given below but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked. l Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.
