10.0 COOKING TIPS
To obtain the best results, we advise
to use GASTRONORM trays, availa-
ble in different models and materials
according to the type of cooking.
It's fundamental always to leave an
interspace of 3 cm at least be-
tween the food to be cooked and the
upper tray for a good air circulation.
The height of the food should be similar to the height of the trays. Very low lays of food in trays of 65
and 80 mm can cook in a non uniform way.
It is advisable to avoid the food to be cooked overflows from the pan , or in case this is not feasible,
avoid placing the pan on the top floor to that affected by the situation described.
Cooking of different food can be performed simultaneously at the same temperature , avoiding the
overlapping of flavors, placing the products with stronger flavor always on the top of the cooking
chamber and the release valve must to be open.
For an optimal cooking temperature you must take into consideration the following rule: select a lower
temperature of about 20 % compared to the one set in traditional static ovens without ventilation.
The forced ventilation system, of which this oven is equipped, ensures cooking in reduced time.
Convection cooking with 0% humidification: this method, commonly called "Convection", is indi-
cated for all types of cooking where you want to get dry and crispy food.
To achieve this result it is advisable to open the release valve to help the exhaust of steam from the
cooking chamber.
Convection cooking with humidification: this method, commonly called "combined" is indicated for
all types of cooking where you want to get soft and juicy food
Steam cooking: with this system,
you can achieve cooking very similar
to the boiling in water.
Steam with no pressure ensures even
and delicate cooking, and food loses
almost no vitamins and mineral salts.
Cooking times are much shorter com-
pared to those when water is used.
We always recommend using the perforated G.N. tray so that, when cooking has finished , there is no
water on the bottom of the tray.
If you need to use the cooking liquid you can put an ordinary G.N. tray underneath.
