The ideal Stove for all forms of cooking the St George SGADO is a multifunction 2 x 92 Litre stove which offers a wide selection of cooking features and a more even cooking temperature throughout the oven. The wipe clean enamel coating throughout the internal chamber make cleaning a breeze whilst the one piece internal cooking chamber ensures there are no unsightly joins to harbour food and grease.
The Multifunction Stove Function Selections are as follows:
Light - The light illuminates the oven during normal cooking modes, and assists when cleaning the oven.
Defrost - This function activates the fan only, (no heat is used) to allow controlled and hygienic defrosting.
Conventional cooking - Normal or traditional cooking functions using the top and bottom elements. When using this function, set the thermostat between 50 - 250C. When the desired temperature is reached the yellow light will go out and then alternate between lit and unlit as the temperature is controlled.
Fan-assisted Baking or Patisserie Setting - Combines the concealed bottom element with fan assistance and is used in conjunction with the thermostat. The oven door must remain closed during cooking.
Defrost - The defrost setting allows the natural thawing for delicate foods such as fine pastries desserts, bacon slices and seafood. Rather than leaving them on a benchtop they may be defrosted in the closed hygienic environment of the oven, ideal for frozen meats and other freezer items.
Normal Baking - Uses heat from both the upper element and concealed lower element. To bake, place the oven rack in the appropriate position according to the type of food to be cooked and allow the oven to fully preheat for the best results. This type of cooking is Ideal for cooking casseroles, roast, meats, and other items which require a slower method.
Fan Forced Baking - Uses the central element and this type of cooking requires slightly different timing techniques than normal cooking. The fan draws the air in and over the central element which is positioned around the fan and then circulates it back around the oven cavity. This helps distributes the heat allowing foods to rise and cook simultaneously regardless of shelf level. Lower cooking temperatures and in some cases less cooking time is another advantage of this feature. Pre heating takes much less time than a normal bake oven. When cooking meats, for best results always preheat the oven to ensure the meat surface is sealed to lock-in juices for a moist and tender result. Fan forced cooking is ideal for multi-level cooking e.g. patty cakes. Another advantage of fan forced cooking is that different types of food may be cooked simultaneously without mixing the aromas or flavours. When using the oven in this way, ensure that all the foods require the same cooking temperature and check the finish times of each dish for best results. As fan-forced cooking is faster than conventional methods, so take care not to burn your food when you first start using this method. Although faster than conventional cooking, Fan Forced cooking pails into comparison with using the other multifunction functions which unlike fan forced cooking doesn't rely on only one element as a multifunction oven has four elements and may use up to three elements at the same time resulting in a faster more even browning process.
Grilling: During grilling the door may remain closed or completely open. This function offers the traditional grilling method necessary to achieve proper browning without overcooking the interior of the foods. Activating the centre section of the upper grill element only is ideal for browning smaller portions or thinner cuts of meat. Alternatively one may choose to activate the entire upper element for the grilling of large quantities or thick cuts of meat. Allow the griller to pre-heat for approx. 2 minutes before sliding the tray into position. Place the grill tray into the roasting pan and arrange food according to the function you have selected, either in the centre of the tray or spread across the full width of the tray. Position the tray at the correct grilling level and turn the thermostat control to MAX for best results. As the temperature is set to MAX you may need to adjust your grilling shelf height to suit the desired cooking result. If the tray is too close to the element, the food will be exposed to the full effect of the element and may burn and create smoke. Fan Grilling and Browning: Fan grilling opens up new ways to prepare food by improving the appearance and flavor. Fan grilling is ideal for chicken, meat, fish and vegetables, as well as sauce-based dishes with cheese or crumbed toppings. Arrange food on the grilling pan and place at the appropriate grilling level, turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature and close the door of the oven. Pre-heat the grill for best results. The fan works in conjunction with the top grilling element. The fan forces the heat into the food to cook it through, whilst the grill element browns the food from above. Even though the food is cooked throughout, you may wish to turn the food to brown the underside. For sauce-based recipes or re-heating we recommend that you use the third shelf down and set the thermostat to 180�C. Cook until the crumb topping is brown or the sauce is just bubbling -approximately 20-30 minutes. Fan grilling is faster than conventional grilling, so we suggest you reduce heat and time when you first begin using this method to avoid burning.
Patisserie Setting: This setting combines the bottom element with the fan which is ideal for cooking fine pastries, tarts and other foods which require crisp cooked bases. The heat is directed at the bottom of the food and the fan assists the heat to penetrate, cooking the interior without browning the top. As the bottom element is concealed, it is normal for the oven to take a few minutes more than the other fan functions to heat. For best results, pre-heat the oven on Function 3 then turn to Function 8 when you are ready for baking.
