Cakes
pre-heat the oven to 220-230oc for 3 minutes. When selecting an
appropriate cake tin to use, be sure that it will fit comfortably in the bowl.
Always place the cake tin on the low rack-never directly onto the bottom
of the bowl. When using the recipes from else where, deduct 10oc
from the recommended cooking temperature. Cooking time depends
entirely upon the size of cake you are making but it is easy to monitor its
progress with the see-through glass bowl.
Biscuits and pastries
you may use your own special frying pan (but make sure the frying pan
is allowed to be used in the ovens like this!) And place it on the low rack.
Don’t forget to lightly grease the pan you are going to use first. The best
temperature for biscuits and pastries is 220 -230oc. Cooking times
vary but is generally 12-15 minutes for biscuits.
Pies
pre-cooked (unfrozen) pies could not be easier. Place on high rack
and cook for 8-12 minutes at 220oc. Frozen or uncooked pies use the
same position and temperature, but increase the cooking time usually to
20-25 minutes. This can vary depending on the size and content of the
pie.
Eggs
hard or soft-boiled eggs are unbelievably easy in the convection oven.
For a start, there is no boiling involved! Simply place up to 6 eggs into
the pan and put the pan on the high rack.
Set the temperature to 200oc set the timer to 6 minutes for soft-boiled
or 10 minutes for hard-boiled. Always use the tongs to carefully remove
the eggs after cooking.
Bread rolls
to reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll with foil, place on the low
rack and heat at 200oc for 5-7 minutes. If the rolls are a few days old
they can be brushed with a little milk, placing them on the high rack and
heating for 6-9 minutes at 180oc.
Cooking with the extension ring
if you need to cook something of a larger size, for example: whole
chicken, turkey, stuffed turkey, mean you can put the extension ring on
the top of the bowl. Then extension ring makes the bowl bigger, it gives
an extra volume you need for cooking. Now all the ingredients you
would like to cook will fit into the bowl with the extension ring perfectly
well. You can cook several dishes at one and the same time!
