EASY COOKING TIPS

• Anything you can cook in your traditional oven and grill, you can cook in the Easy Cook.

• When adapting recipes from elsewhere, keep in mind that cooking temperatures will usually remain the same but cooking time may generally be shorter.

• Place food directly on wire rack. Cooking on a wire rack allows the hot air to circulate freely around the food, cooking it quickly and evenly without turning.

• When placing several pieces of food on the wire rack, be sure to leave at least 1/2 ” between the food and the side of the bowl. This space allows the air to flow freely through the oven.

• Avoid stacking food on top of each other. The hot air must circulate freely in order to cook the food properly.

• After the food is cooked, turn the thermostat down to a WARM (60-80C) temperature while the fan is running. Your food will stay hot and crispy.

• Adapt your recipes to cook in the convection oven. As a rule of thumb, temperatures will remain the same but cooking times may be less.

• Use the cooking times in this manual as a general guide. When cooking meat products you may have to adjust your cooking time slightly depending on the weight of the meat. When working with the oven for the first time, we suggest using a meat thermometer.

• OPTIONAL: For optimum cooking meat on the GRILL function, preheat your oven at 230°C for approximately 5 minutes prior to cooking.

• The mechanical timers on the models E777 may have a time variance of +-7minutes. If you find a variance in your timer, compensate your cooking time.

• Use cooking times indicated as a guide. Cooking times will vary depending on such factors as volume, weight, mass of food and local weather conditions.

• PRESET FUNCTION: 1) Press “START”, 2) Press “PRESET” and set future time in hours. 3) Press “START”, 4) Press “TEMP/TIME” to set temperature and cooking time. 5) Press “START”.

Frequently Asked Questions• Do I need to preheat in Easy Cook? NO, it is not a necessity to pre-heat

but it is recommended for grilling.• Do I need to put water in the bowl prior to cooking? NO, however some

Easycook customers do as a personal preference to assist on cleaning of the bowl.

• What type of bakeware can I use in EasyCook? Any bakeware that you would use in your traditional oven. During testing in Easy Cook we found that metal based bakeware is preferable over silicon bakeware.

• Can I cook meat and vegetables at the same time? YES. • Can I use standard recipes for the Easy Cook? YES, but cooking times

may be quicker in Easy Cook.• Can I cook frozen foods in Easy Cook? YES, as you can in your

traditional oven or grill.• Can I Dehydrate food in Easy Cook? YES, but cooking process is up to

12 hours at low heat (approximately 60C). Dehydrating can only be done in the E797 electronic model with a 24 hour timer.

• Does Easy Cook use the same cooking concept as my traditional oven & grill? YES.

• Do I need to store Easy Cook away when not in use? NO. We do recommend you keep Easy Cook in eye sight on your kitchen benchtop and used regularly.

• The fan guard is getting dirty and hard to clean. How can I clean it? Screw off the fan guard with a Phillips head screw driver and clean in soapy hot water.

• Can I use Alfoil in the Easy Cook? YES, as you would in your traditional oven and grill.

• Is Easy Cook any help to diabetics? YES definitely. The less fat you eat, the less problems you have controlling your weight and Easy Cook is a great help in reducing your fat intake.

• Can I cook chips, wedges & French Fries? YES and low fat too! Easy Cook has a number of recipes making delicious golden brown and crunchy chips. You can cook chips in the bottom of the bowl or in the Airfry Barrel.

• Will Easy Cook brown and crisp food? YES. Easy cook is a fan forced convection oven, blowing superheated hot air around the food, browning and crisping just as your traditional oven & grill would.

• Does Easy Cook cook faster? YES, in some cases. Easy Cook heats up very quickly and cooks fast too. Not as fast as a microwave, but may be faster than your conventional oven.

• Can I cook eggs in my Easy Cook? YES. You can fry and boil eggs. You can actually boil eggs in hot air and without water!
