Introduction To OTG Oven For Baking

If you love to bake, you're probably familiar with the struggle of baking a perfect loaf of bread or pie in an oven that doesn't have all the features you need. It is where OTG ovens come in! OTG ovens are convection ovens modified to allow for extra accessories like grills and rotisseries. These extras enable you to cook snacks like baked magic, French fries and grilled chicken wings to main dishes like tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, and pizza on your OTG oven. And remember for the perfect baking experience, always use the OTG oven for baking. 

Benefits Of Using An OTG Oven For Baking

OTG ovens have several advantages over conventional ovens. They are easy to use, energy-efficient, have low maintenance requirements, and are designed with safety features. These ovens come with simple controls, consume less power, are easy to clean, and have safety locks and automatic shut-off features. Overall, they offer convenience and cost-effectiveness in the long run for baked magic treats.

Understanding The Different Types Of OTG Oven For Baking

OTG ovens are available in different sizes and capacities. They can be used to bake, roast, grill, magic bake and toast. The size of your OTG oven will depend on what you'll be cooking most often. If it's just for one or two people, a small unit may be enough, but if you have a large family, consider getting something bigger so everyone can use it at once!

How To Use An OTG Oven For Magic Bake

  2. Place your baking tray on the oven's lower rack, ensuring enough space for air to circulate around the tray.
  3. Prepare your baking mixture or dough as per your recipe instructions.
  4. Pour or scoop the mixture into your baking tray, ensuring it is evenly spread and leveled.
  5. Place the baking tray onto the lower rack of the preheated oven, and close the oven door.

  7. Once the baking time is complete, turn off the oven and carefully remove the baking tray from the oven using oven mitts.

Tips For Baking In An OTG Oven

  1. Use a heavy-duty pan to prevent baked goods from sticking to the surface.
  2. Use a deep pan to allow for rising doughs and proper air circulation, and choose one that is deeper than it is wide to maximize capacity.
  3. Always ensure your pan is oven safe and read instructions before using any new utensil.
  4. Consider the pan material. Nonstick may not be suitable for high heat. Stainless steel and cast iron are durable and versatile.
  5. Use light-colored pans for delicate baked goods to prevent over-browning. Dark-colored pans absorb more heat and can cause browning. 

Maintenance And Cleaning Of OTG Ovens

  1. Clean the oven regularly.
  2. Use a damp cloth to clean the oven, being careful not to get any water on top of or inside your OTG oven.
  3. Don't use abrasive cleaners on the glass door and frame; this may scratch them and make them look old sooner than expected.
  4. Don't put wet utensils in an OTG oven, as they can cause electrical damage or fire hazard when it comes into contact with heating elements inside an OTG oven cavity and vice versa.
  5. Never put plastic containers in an OTG because they melt very easily at high temperatures, so please only use metal containers for baking/cooking purposes!
