Points to Remember when Using an OTG

1. Adjust the Temperature

The right temperature is important- both for pre-heating and while cooking- to make your food perfect. The oven needs to be pre-heated to its maximum temperature for most of the recipes. Avoid opening the oven frequently as it causes heat to escape and increases the cooking time.

2. Use the Right Accessory

An OTG comes with different attachments. Make sure you use the right attachment according to the dish that you plan to cook. Make sure the oven is clean and doesn’t have any leftovers from the last use as it may ruin the dish that you are preparing.

3. Use the right Bakeware

Don’t use dark-colored bakeware as these absorb more heat and increase the chances of burning your food. Instead, use light-colored metal, glass, or silicone bakeware as these transmit heat equally and prevent the risk of burning your food.

4. Avoid placing anything on the top

This is another important point that you need to remember. Avoid placing anything on top of the oven. In addition, make sure the vents of the OTG are clear to prevent accidents.
