Cakes
When selecting an appropriate cake tin to use, ensure that it will fit comfortably in the
bowl. Always place the cake tin on the low rack and never directly onto the bottom of
the bowl. When using recipes from elsewhere, deduct 50°F from the recommended
cooking temperature. Cooking time depends entirely upon the size of the cake you are
making but it is easy to monitor its progress with the see-through glass bowl.
Biscuits and Pastries
You may use your personal frying pan however ensure that is it safe to use in a
convection oven like this. Lightly grease the pan and place it on the low rack. The best
temperature for biscuits and pastries is between 430°F - 445°F. Cooking times vary but
are generally 12 – 15 minutes for biscuits.
Pies
Place precooked (unfrozen) pies on the high rack and cook for approximately 8 – 12
minutes at 430°F. Frozen or uncooked pies use the same position and temperature but
require a longer cooking time (20 – 25 minutes). Cooking time may vary depending on
the size and content of the pie.
Eggs
Hard or soft-boiled eggs are simple to cook in the convection oven. For starters, there is
no boiling involved. Place up to 6 eggs into the pan and place the pan on the high rack.
Set the temperature to 400°F and set the timer to approximately 5 – 6 minutes for soft-
boiled eggs 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 in foil, place on the low rack and heat at
400°F 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 350°F.
