Basic information on the grill symbols

There are different symbols that indicate grilling in the oven:

  • A line usually shows normal oven heat, this can come from above or below, accordingly this line is either above or below or above and below. A jagged line stands for grilling and is always on top, because the grill heat comes from above.
  • A propeller stands for circulating air. If the symbol "jagged line" and "propeller" are displayed together, then you have a grill that is combined with convection.

Grilling in the oven

  • You always have to grill when you need a deep browning from above, especially when that If food is already cooked and only needs to be browned, it makes sense to use the grill symbol to turn on.
  • With some ovens, you can combine bottom heat and grill or use the symbol for convection and grill in combination. This is always good if you want to brown the top with the radiant warmth of the grill and at the same time want to cook with the room warmth of the oven.

This happens when you use the grill symbol on the oven

  • You can usually set a specific temperature in the oven. The oven heats the entire cooking space to this temperature and keeps it constant. The oven door must of course be closed, otherwise you will heat it kitchen not the oven.
  • Since the food in the oven cools the cooking space exactly where the heat is needed for cooking, there is circulating air. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed in the cooking space. The temperature can therefore be reduced overall, the door must remain closed.
  • When grilling, there is strong heat radiation from above, which burns onto the food. This means that the cooking space heats up due to the build-up of heat, often too much, because the heat is not controlled when you use the grill symbol. For this reason, the door of the cooking space must be opened a crack so that it does not get too hot in it. The high temperatures that can arise when grilling also damage the electronics of the oven, which is why the door should be opened a little.
  • If your oven has a grill symbol with convection, the cooking space will be used when this symbol is used mostly not left open, but you should take a look at the instructions for the oven, like yours is. The convection prevents the underside of the food from remaining cold because it distributes the heat evenly in the oven. As a result, there is usually no build-up of heat at certain points in the cooking space.

Never switch on the grill symbol when baking filled doughs such as pizza or fruit cakes, because then the topping would burn and the dough would remain raw. These things are best baked in the oven with bottom heat or convection.
