Practical Cooking Advice

The 7 cuochi oven offers a wide range of alternatives which

allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. The

various features make it possible to select the level of heat and

to direct it as you like: from the bottom, from above or uniformly.

With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile

cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guide-

line which may be varied according to your own personal expe-

rience.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when

cooking leavened foods), the "pizza mode" (setting three)

can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as

possible in order to save on energy. Once the food has been

placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can

then be selected.

Cooking on More Than One Rack

If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same time, use

only setting 4, “ventilated mode,” which is the only one that

is appropriate for this type of cooking. The rack heights used

should be the three centre ones, as the bottom and top racks

receive too much direct heat, which could burn more delicate

foods. If three racks are used at the same time, the food on the

middle rack will take a little longer to cook. Therefore, leave it in

the oven for an additional few minutes. If you are preparing a

complete meal with all three racks at the same time, place the

dish that calls for a lower cooking temperature (generally pas-

tries) on the middle rack.

Using the grill

The 7 cuochi oven offers you three different grilling modes. Use

setting 5 “The Grill,” for small portions. Although electrical

consumption is a mere 1200 W, it allows you to grill small por-

tions like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc., to perfection. Posi-

tion the food under the centre of the grill because only the cen-

tral part of the top heating element is turned on. Food placed in

the corners will not cook properly. Setting 6 “The Double

Grill”, allows you to grill along the entire surface area of the grill.

Use this mode when you have food distributed uniformly through-

out the oven and you would like to brown the items uniformly.

Setting 7 “The Double Ventilated Grill”, is extremely

useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes

it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the

bottom part. It can also be used to grill large pieces of meat or

fowl without a rotisserie. Moreover, it can also be used for browning

foods at the end of the cooking process.

Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed.

This will allow you both to attain excellent results and to

save energy (about 10%). When using any of the three grilling

modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob be turned

to the highest setting, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill

(which utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the thermo-

stat can be set to lower temperatures by simply turning the knob

to the desired setting. To prevent fat and grease from dripping

onto the bottom of the oven, place the dripping-pan beneath the

rack used for grilling.

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has

been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven has been

preheated thoroughly (the red “O” light will turn off). The tem-

perature is normally around 160°C. Do not open the door while

the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping. Batters

must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cooking

times. In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the

cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and

increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the

cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

flour.

I used more than one level and they are not all at

the same cooking point

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to

remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza, use setting 3 “The

Pizza Oven”:

• Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes;

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the broiler

supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan is used, this will

extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy

crust;

• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cook-

ing;

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recom-

mended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top half-

way through the cooking process.

Cooking Fish and Meat

Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying

out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low tempera-

ture settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should be well

done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a

good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C)

for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general,

the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the

meat on the centre of the rack and place the dripping pan be-

neath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack is inserted so

that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the

amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For sa-

voury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat

with lard or bacon on the top.
