DESCRIPTION
This is a traditional mode for baking, roasting,
and reheating food, ideal for recipes developed
in older ovens. Great for your favourite roasts
and baked goods that have a pastry base and do
not require direct heat and browning on the top.
Similar to BAKE, but a convection fan in the back
of the oven helps distribute the heat more
evenly, resulting in quicker browning and shorter
cooking times. When converting recipes from
traditional to convection baking, reduce the stated
cooking time or temperature. For some recipes,
reducing both slightly may give the best results.
Intense heat from the top browns or 'finishes off'
your meals. Broiling also gives you a healthier
alternative to frying or searing meat. For broiling
that requires a quick burst of intense heat, use
this mode with the temperature set to BROIL
(= maximum intensity).
Intense heat from the top is distributed by the
convection fan, giving a finish similar to a
rotisserie: meat is crispy and evenly browned on
the outside, juicy and tender in the middle. Also
great for cooking vegetables and suitable for
foods that you would normally pan-fry or grill.
Provides a gentle heat in the sealed environment
of the oven, creating ideal conditions for
proofing dough. Ideal for defrosting as well, but not
suitable for reheating food or keeping hot food warm.
This self-cleaning cycle takes care of the mess
and grime traditionally associated with oven
cleaning. During self-cleaning, the oven reaches
very high temperatures. This burns off and
breaks down food soils and grease deposits.
