Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés, and
whisked sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time, this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
When cooking frozen or chilled food,
use the highest possible shelf position,
while allowing some clearance
between the food and the top element.
Cooking temperatures
Because the top oven is more compact
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
temperatures specified in recipes by 20˚C.
Use the following guide as a reference
for determining temperatures to use.
Shelf positions
There are 3 shelf positions in the top
oven, which are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf
position 1 is the lowest.

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 25
mm between the items themselves
and the oven interior.
• 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 from
circulating freely.

Cooking with a fanned oven
If you have been used to cooking with
a conventional oven, you will find a
number of differences to cooking with
a fanned oven, which will require a
different approach:
There are no zones of heat in a
fanned oven, the convection fan at the
back of the oven ensures an even
temperature throughout the oven; this
makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party or stocking
the freezer, as all items will be cooked
within the same length of time.
Foods are cooked at a lower
temperature (between 10˚C and
20˚C lower) than a conventional oven,
so conventional recipe temperatures
may have to be reduced.
Cooking times will generally be
shorter, by between 5 - 10 minutes per
hour, than those given in recipe books
for conventional cooking.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish at
the same time as mild foods, eg; milk
puddings. When batch baking foods
that will rise during cooking - eg;
bread, always ensure that enough
space has been left between shelves to
allow for the rise.
Preheating is generally not necessary
as a fanned oven warms up quickly.
When 2 or more shelves are being
used, it may be necessary to increase
the cooking time slightly.
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to
cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria
sandwiches or 2 casseroles. Although
you need to keep in mind the points
from the previous page ‘to help the air
circulate freely’. With careful choice
of dishes and tins, it is possible to
cook a complete meal, and perhaps
something else for the freezer, in the
oven at the same time.
When roasting meats, you may notice
that fat splashing is greatly reduced,
which is due in part to the lower oven
temperatures, and will help keep
cleaning of the oven to a minimum.
Because a fanned oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, no
shelf positions have been given in the
following Baking Guide, and there is
no need to interchange dishes onto
different shelves part way through
cooking as with a conventional oven.

Defrosting and cooling in the
main oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
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 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,
and 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.
•A1
1⁄2kg / 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.

23892 02 - Q721EF/720EF 03/04/2001 15:31 Page 14

Slow cooking
• Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly thawed before cooking.
• Do not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 21⁄4kg
/ 41⁄2lb.
• For roasting joints of meat or
poultry and for pot roasts preheat
the oven to 190˚C - 200˚C and
cook for 30 minutes, then adjust
the oven control to 120˚C - top
oven / 110˚C - main oven for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• Slow cooking times will be about
3 times as long as conventional
cooking times.
Hints for cooking frozen &
chilled foods
• When cooking frozen or chilled foods,
please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If cooking more than
one tray or item, cooking times
may need to be increased.
• Please ensure that foods are
piping hot before consumption.
• Always use the temperature setting
stated on food packaging when
cooking convenience food.
• Preheat the oven if requested.
• Never overload the tray - eg; oven
chips should be placed onto the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
• Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are
only intended as a guide and do
not take individual preferences
into account.
• Always cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer
unless packaging advises otherwise.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with, you should allow at
least 25 mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes, unless specified in
the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly requires
cooking two different types of meat -
the delicate light breast meat, which
must not be allowed to dry out, and
the darker leg meat, which takes
longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The breast
meat can be covered once browned.
• Turkey should be roasted at 170 -
180˚C for 20 minutes per lb,
plus 20 minutes, unless packaging
advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per lb to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with
foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450 g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25 kg (21⁄2lb) may require 5
minutes per 450 g (1lb) extra
cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
