Nowadays, people’s living standards are getting higher and higher, and ovens have gradually become one of the most common appliances in most home kitchens. What precautions should be taken when using the oven? The following will introduce to you the precautions for using an electric oven. Welcome to read! Precautions for using an electric oven

1. When using an electric oven for the first time, be sure to wipe the inside and outside of the oven with a clean damp cloth and remove the Some dust. Then you can leave the oven empty and use high temperature to bake for a while. Sometimes white smoke may come out, which is normal. Pay attention to ventilation and heat dissipation after baking. After waiting for cooling, you can scrub the inner wall of the furnace with clean water.

2. After cleaning, the electric oven can be used normally. Before baking any food, the oven needs to be preheated to the specified temperature to meet the baking time on the recipe. It takes about 10 minutes to preheat the oven. If the oven is left empty for too long to preheat, it may also affect the service life of the oven.

3. In addition to the high temperature inside the oven being heated, the outer shell and glass door are also very hot, so be careful when opening or closing the oven door to avoid being burned by the glass door. Always use handles when placing baking sheets in or taking them out of the oven, and never touch the baking sheets or baked food directly with your hands. Never touch the heater or other parts of the oven cavity with your hands to avoid burns.

4. When starting to use the oven, you should first adjust the temperature, upper heat, lower heat, upper and lower heat, and then turn the time knob clockwise (never counterclockwise). At this time, the power The indicator light is on, indicating that the oven is working. During use, if we set to bake food for 30 minutes, but through observation, the food will be cooked in 20 minutes, then we should not turn the time knob counterclockwise at this time, please adjust the fire position in the middle of the three knobs to off That's it, this can extend the service life of the machine. This is different from the use of microwave ovens, which can be reversed.

5. The electric oven should be cleaned after each use and after it cools down. It should be noted that when cleaning the box door and furnace cavity shell, wipe them with a dry cloth and avoid washing them with water. If you encounter dirt that is difficult to remove, you can gently wipe it off with dish soap. Other accessories of the electric oven, such as baking pans, grill grids, etc., can be washed with water.

6. The oven must be placed in a ventilated place and not too close to the wall to facilitate heat dissipation. And it is best not to place the oven near a water source, because the overall temperature of the oven is very high when it is working, and if it comes into contact with water, it will cause a temperature difference.

7. When the oven is working for a long time, do not stay in front of the oven for a long time. If you find cracks or the like on the oven glass door, please stop using it immediately.

The correct use and precautions of the electric oven

1. Use of baking pan and grilling net

The baking pan is mainly used to bake hamburger steaks and chicken. , duck, cookies, bread, etc.; the grilling net can be used to bake shelled peanuts, sunflower seeds and other foods; use the baking net and cake mold box to bake cakes; use both the grilling net and the baking pan when grilling fish (in Place a grill net on the baking sheet and place the fish).

No matter what kind of food is being baked, only one plate should be placed at a time so that the food is baked by the upper and lower fire at the same time.

2. Operating steps for using an automatic electric oven

(1) Place the prepared food to be baked into a baking pan that has been greased with cooking oil;

(2) Plug in the power plug;

(3) Turn the transfer switch to the full load position, that is, energize the upper and lower heating at the same time, and turn the thermostat to the required temperature position .

After a certain period of time, the indicator light goes out, indicating that the oven has reached the preheating temperature.

(4) Use a fork to place the baking sheet with the food to be baked into the oven.

(5) When automatic timing control is required, set the timer to the predetermined baking time; if automatic timing control is not required, set the timer to the "long connection" position.

(6) During the baking process, you should always observe whether all parts of the food are heated evenly, and use a fork to turn the direction of the baking pan if necessary.

(7) When the baking time reaches the predetermined time, turn the transfer switch and thermostat back to the "off" position, unplug the power plug, take out the food, wait for the oven to cool down, and turn the oven cavity to the "off" position. Wipe down doors and accessories.

3. Things you should pay attention to when using an electric oven

(1) The temperature of the top and door of the electric oven is relatively high, so do not touch it with your hands when using it; remove and place the baking tray Be sure to use a fork when operating, and do not touch the heater or other parts of the oven cavity with your hands to avoid burns.

(2) The electric oven heater has a certain thermal inertia. When the power is turned on, it takes 2-3 minutes before the heater surface reaches the normal operating temperature; when the power is turned off, it also takes a certain period of time to cool down. . Understanding this characteristic of the heater will make it easier to turn the heater on or off in advance according to the degree of baking of the food.

(3)Be sure to preheat the oven before putting food in the oven.

(Due to the heat dissipation from the oven door, the baking degree of the food near the oven door is always slightly weaker. In order to bake the food in each part of the baking pan evenly, you can turn off the oven halfway through the baking time. Turn the pan around and continue baking.

(5) In order to use electricity safely, the electric oven should have a good grounding wire.

(6) After each use of the electric oven, be sure to wipe it clean after cooling. The baking pan and grilling net can be washed with water, but the oven door, oven cavity, and outer shell should not be washed with water. Wipe them with a dry cloth. If food juice sticks to the oven cavity, baking pan, and grilling net, it can be used when it is difficult to clean after carbonization. Dip the cuttlefish bone in water or use dish soap and wipe it off gently.
