⚠️ SAFETY FIRST: IMPORTANT
Pyrolytic cleaning involves temperatures exceeding 400°C. The exterior of the oven, particularly the glass door, can become extremely hot to the touch. Ensure children and pets are kept away during the cycle. Always isolate the appliance from mains power if you are performing any manual maintenance or checking door locks after a cycle.
Conventional convection cooking usually uses 2 elements one on the floor the oven on the top of oven , this creates heated convectional air currents that circulate around the oven cooking the food. The min draw back is that there can be pockets of cooler air within the oven and also it can take longer and also use more energy to cook.
From fan-assisted efficiency to conventional roasting, understand your oven's core functions and how they impact your cooking and energy use.
Fan assisted ovens use a fan usually at the rear of the oven to circulate the heat from the element round the oven space with this type of oven shelf height does not greatly affect cooking times and temperature is more even distributed round the oven.
These types of oven typically use less energy to cook the food and can cook food in low times and at lower temps
2. Fan Assisted Cooking
This is the modern standard for efficiency.
How it works: A fan at the back of the oven forces hot air from a circular element around the entire cavity.
The Benefit: Heat is distributed evenly, meaning you can cook on multiple levels at once. It’s faster, uses less energy, and allows for lower cooking temperatures.
Grilling sometimes called broiling uses the top element and directly heats the food. Grilling can be done with the door open as it does not require the door to be sealed to aid the hot air convectional currents.
Grilling is very fast but can burn the surfaces and leave the middle uncooked if not controlled properly
3. Grilling (or Broiling)
High-intensity heat from above.
How it works: It uses the top element only, providing direct radiant heat to the food below.
Pro Tip: Unlike baking, grilling can often be done with the door open to prevent moisture buildup, but be careful—it can burn the surface of food very quickly if left unattended!
