Siemens explain their oven settings (Siemens)
The trick to having a relaxing meal is being organised. With so much going on, it's easy to forget the little things such as what setting should I use... unfortunately these little things can create big problems. To help you Siemens have produced this simple guide to oven functions, so that you can fully understand how their ovens work.
Hot Air Cooking
Ideal for all types of foods, cooking on up to 3 shelves at the same time. Great for baking and roasting, ideal for larger joints. For best results place the joint on the metal rack over the universal pan on shelf 1.
Hot air grilling
This cooking system is ideally suited for Poultry and Duck up to 2.5kg,5lb and for smaller cuts of meat. Also ideal for crisping the crackling on Pork (use this cooking system for the last 30 minutes of the cooking time to give the perfect crispy finish).
Top and bottom heat
Ideal for single shelf cooking and gives a crisper, drier result. Good for meat pies and fruit pies. Rich fruit cakes will not be peaked in the centre if cooked using this cooking system. The oven needs to be pre-heated on this setting
Special Baking
The moisture produced by the food during cooking will remain inside the over, giving more moist results. This setting improves the texture and keeping qualities of cakes, breads and pastry items. The oven needs to be pre-heated on this setting
Intensive hot air
Ideal for free pizza of anything with a pastry base or in a pastry case. Frozen foods can be cooked without needing to pre-heat the over. Foods cooked within pastry cases will not make the pastry soggy on the setting, e.g. Quiche.
Bottom heat
Ideal for Casseroles, Curries and any slow cooking. Good for Main-Marie cooking of Crème Caramels.
Defrost Setting
Gently defrost a delicate gateaux or large joint of meat of turkey. This setting circulates room temperature air around the food, whilst keeping the food away from pests.
Automatic cooking programmes
This setting allows you to cook meat or fish (in a dish with a lid) automatically. Enter the programme number, weight of the food and leave it to cook. You can even delay the start time to switch on later. The oven works out the time and temperature for a great result.
Note: Not all these functions are available on all Siemens ovens.
