COOKING OPTIONS
Your Astro oven has 8 cooking options. On the oven control panel each option is represented by a symbol.
Traditional method of cooking, most suitable for food that requires long cooking or cooking at a
low temperature e.g. fruit cakes. The oven should be preheated first and is best for single trays.
The fan forces hot air from an element around the fan throughout the oven. This is good for cooking several
dishes or trays at one time, as you don’t have to worry about food being too close to the elements and
burning. It is really good for more than one tray of baking and for casseroles or oven meals.
A fan at the back of the oven circulates hot air from the top and lower
elements. Fan Bake tends to brown food more quickly so you may need to lower
the temperature. It is good for crisping foods e.g. pastry products and slices.
Uses heat from the lower element only. The oven needs to be preheated on Bake or Fan Bake.
Use Classic Bake for quiches, slices, anything you want browner on the bottom than top.
BAKE
Top & lower heating element.
FAN FORCED
Fan plus fan element.
FAN BAKE
Fan plus top & lower elements.
CLASSIC BAKE
Lower element.
ECO GRILL
Top inner element.
Uses the inner area of the top element. Use for single servings or small pieces of food.
DEFROST
Fan only.
GRILL
Top inner & outer elements.
FAN GRILL
Fan plus top elements.
Defrost circulates air from the fan without heat, to prevent food from drying out or starting
to cook. Thawed food should be removed from the oven and refrigerated until needed.
Multi trays may be defrosted.
Grill cooks a large area of food using the two top elements. For best results leave the door
open at first stop position. Grilled vegetables are quick and have a wonderful flavour.
The fan circulates the heat from the top elements. This is excellent for foods that
would normally be fried. Large cuts of meat cooked on Fan Grill give a result similar to
using a rotisserie. Dishes such as lasagne and moussaka can also be Fan Grilled.
INSPIRATION
Grill large slices of fruit e.g. bananas, mango,
peaches. Sprinkle with brown sugar, drizzle with
brandy and serve with ice cream.
