CONVECTION COOKING
Heat is transferred to the foods by pre-heated air,
forced to circulate by in the cooking chamber. The
heat quickly and uniformly reaches all parts of the
chamber, enabling simultaneous cooking of differ-
ent types of food (providing they have the same cook-
COOKING DESSERTS
Desserts require a very high temperature (usually
from 150 to 200°C) and a pre-heated oven (about ten
minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at
least 3/4 of the cooking time has elapsed. Whipped
COOKING MEAT
Meat to be cooked should weight at least 1 Kg to pre-
vent it drying too much. Very tender red meats to be
cooked rare, which must be cooked on the outside to
keep all their gravy, require short cooking time at
high temperature (200-250°C). The gravy ingredi-
ents must be placed immediately in the pan only if
the cooking temperature is brief, otherwise they
should be added during the last half-hour. You can
check the degree of cooking by squashing the meat
with a spoon: if the meat does not yield, it is correct-

Meats may be placed on a plate suitable for oven

should place a tray to collect the gravy. When cook-

before cutting the meat so that the gravy does not
come out.
Before being served, the dishes may be kept hot in
the oven at minimum temperature.
