Multiple cooking
It is possible to cook several dishes (the same or different types) simultaneously, without flavour or odour being passed
from one to the other, as long as you choose dishes cooked at the same temperature. (They do not have to be placed
in the oven or taken out at the same time).
Depending on the number of levels used, you may have to purchase additional equipment.
Note: The cooking guide gives the cook time for a single dish. When cooking several dishes increase this time by 10 to
20 minutes.
Additional information
Tins made of black metal with a non-stick interior and gilded metal tins are the most suitable because they absorb heat
rapidly and transmit it to the dough. This means that cooking time is reduced and less energy is required.
Baking utensils made of tin reflect the heat, which means they reject it. Cakes and pies baked in these tins will not
brown properly and take longer to cook. This type of utensil is not recommended for baking in a convection oven.
With respect to the temperatures given in recipe books for conventional cooking, when cooking dishes using the fan-
assisted settings, the temperature should be reduced by 10 to 25°C for baking and by 20 to 40°C for meat. The cook
time should then be decreased slightly.
