MAINTENANCE
Always unplug and let cool before cleaning.
RECIPES
Please refer to the Quick reference card for general guidelines regarding
cooking time and methods.
TO STEAM VEGETABLES
To steam vegetables while you are baking or roasting, simply wrap
vegetables in foil. Secure the foil so that it will not be blown or sucked
off by the fan. Place foil wrapped bundles in oven so that air can circulate
around them (you can use the Dual Height Stand to create a platform
above other foods already cooking). Steaming this way will take a little
longer than steaming in a pot. Fish can also be cooked in foil, steaming in
its own juice. Add a little lemon juice, and add a few sliced vegetables.
TO BAKE CAKES
Place cake tin on wire rack in bowl. If you require a very moist cake with
almost no crust, secure a foil"tent over the cake tin. You can remove
II
the foil just before the cake is ready to allow the top to dry out slighlly.
Cakes will bake a little quicker in the Decosonic Convection Oven than
they will in a conventional oven.
HINTS:
1. Avoid stacking food in an attempt to cook more food. If air cannot
circulate around the food you will only fully cook the top. Always leave
spaces for air to travel and use the dual height stand and perforated baking
dish when necessary.
2. After food is cooked, turn thermostat down and keep fan running to
maintain crispiness.
3. Remove the top and take the bowl to the table just before serving food
4. To make cleaning your Decosonic Convection Oven even easier, spray the
metal surface (wire rack,dual stand, perforated tray and the underside of
the lid) with a cooking spray before each use.
5. A meat thermometer can be used to easily determine the extent of cooking.
160°F is rare, 185°F is medium, 215°F is well done.
