Tips for Hot Air

  • Use Hot Air for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.

  • Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.

  • Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.

  • Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.

Tips for Economic Hot Air

  • When possible, do not preheat the oven before placing food inside.

  • Only preheat if it is specified in the recipe.

  • To maximise energy efficiency, do not open the door during cooking.

  • Use dark black enameled tins that absorb heat particularly well.

  • Remove unused accessories from the oven.
