Cooking tips

Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, with thinner parts towards the centre, and
spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time
Start cooking with a short time setting and extend the cooking time if needed. Overcooking may
result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
• Food such as chicken, hamburgers or steak should be turned once during cooking.
• For liquid foods, stir the contents from the outside to the centre of the dish once or twice
during cooking.
Allow standing time
After the cooking time has elapsed, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time,
as this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool down in a gradual manner.
