Instructions for roasting

• Place the roast on the lower grill rack. Add some water, but only covering the bottom of the glass bowl.
• Turn the roast 1 or 2 times during cooking, basting it with the gravy.

Instructions for grilling

• Use the grill racks as dual stands in order to place the ingredients at different levels.
• Turn thick meat pieces after half of the cooking time has elapsed.
• Can also use the steamer / air fryer accessory sited on racks. Instructions for steaming Fill the bottom of the bowl with some water and tasty herbs and spices for steaming vegetables or fish. Use the steamer / air fryer accessory.

Instructions for baking

• You may place any heat resistant baking pan onto the lower grill rack. Because of the air circulation the diameter should be of maximum 26 cm or 40 cm if extender ring is used.
• If you want to bake a very juicy cake without a crust, attach aluminium foil over the baking pan. Remove the foil shortly before the cake is done, so the top of the cake may slightly dry up.
• Cakes and other cookies are baked a little bit faster than in other common ovens.
• Place frozen pizza directly on the upper grill rack or in the baking tray. Instructions for toasting
• You may toast bread and snacks without preheating the oven.
• Place the bakery products on one of the grill racks.
• Slightly moisten bread rolls that are from the previous day. This way they will crisp up nicely.
• You may also warm up older snacks such as crackers, chips or cookies. Bake them at maximum heat for a few minutes only, so they will become crispy again.

Instructions for defrosting

• The convection oven provides for a more evenly defrosting process than a microwave.
• Set the temperature control to 65-70°C (defrost). Check the food every 5 to 10 minutes. Allow approximately 40 minutes per kg. Large items like meat joins should be turned at least once during the defrosting process. Any liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly cleaned from the bowl before cooking.
• In order to cook frozen food, lower the specified temperature by 20°C. The cooking time in the convection oven is also 30 – 50 % shorter (e.g. 10 to 15 minutes instead of 20 minutes).

Instructions for reheating
Use lower temperatures when reheating in order not to burn your food. Check the food every 5 to 10 minutes.

Note: These time specifications are for reference only and may vary depending on the circumstances.

Grilling and Broiling
For broiling or grilling with a convection oven, the temperature should be set between 220-250 °C. Food should be placed on the rack without covering. To bring the food closer to source of the heating air, the High Rack should be used. Add liquid smoke to water in the bowl if you like a smoky flavors. Any other seasonings should be applied to the surface of the meat. If the fish or meat is lean, spray the rack or grill with non-stick vegetable oil, or brush with cooking oil prior to arranging the fish/ meat on the grill. This will minimize food sticking to the grill. For browner or more seared surfaces, broil on both sides as with thick stocks or steaks. For thinner pieces, no turning is necessary.

Roasting
Lining only the bottom of the Bowl with aluminum foil (leaving an inch of rim) will catch drippings if desired. To let hot air freely circulate, use low Rack. Hot air cooks meat evenly and seals in the juice. Turning and basting is not necessary.

Meat thermometer is recommended. However, without one, go by the time temperature table given here, or follow the chart given for the conventional or regular ovens and subtract 25°C.

Roast Whole Chicken
Rinse chicken thoroughly and add desired seasonings. Spices such as garlic, black pepper and salt are suggested. Before roasting, allow seasonings to penetrate for a few hours. Base of the bowl can be lined with aluminum foil to catch drippings. Roast for approximately 30 minutes per 1 kg at 200°С. Use extension ring if the chicken is large but make sure you increase the cooking time and turn the chicken regularly. Cooking Hints: Brush meat with oil before seasoning. When using both grill racks, change the food after half of the cooking time has elapsed if the upper food gets crispy faster.

Whole Roasts
With Fatty portion facing upward put meat directly on low rack. Put seasoning to your tastes. Insert meat thermometer. Temperature for roasting is usually 25°C less than for regular or conventional roasting. Cooking time depends on type and size of roast

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 200 °C. Set the Time (A/C) 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 200 °C for 5-7 minutes. If the rolls are a few days old they can be “refreshed” by brushing them with a little milk, placing them on the High Rack and heating for 6-9 minutes at 180 °C.

Pies
Pre-cooked (unfrozen) pies could not be easier. Place on High Rack and cook for 8-12 minutes at 220°C. 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.

Baking and Steaming

• The temperature for cooking of uncovered dishes is usually 20 ~ 30 °C lower than in the traditional oven. No pre- heating is necessary in convection oven when baking.
• Ordinarily, the centre of a cake batter will be moist, while the section closest to rim of the baking pan will be done first. For this reason, a bunt cake pan or tube pan is better to use than the larger layered cake pans.
• No pre-heating is necessary in convection oven when baking.

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 elsewhere, deduct 20°C 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.
