We purchased this From Hyper City Bangalore(Royal Meenakshi mall), on 13th sep 2013..this is special gadget for doing baking, toast, grill as its suggest from the name we have a idea of this.. this type is not suitable for cooking/ reheating the stuffs…. size was compact what i expected..

As i had very thin manual and instruction guide im posting this is for my sake also….  there is no demo details in server about the type… so i’ll  clearly write my ideas and the function detail of this type..

OTG Means for Oven Toaster Grill, if you love to bake goodies, then blindly you can choose a OTG Oven, Other Cooking and Reheating is not possible in OTG.. OTG baking is Done with the heat of two Rods, itsd like a traditional oven.. Lot of difference is there in baking with a OTG and Microwave.. When i did my first cake the texture, and color was similar to a store bought one.. the cake turns out as good as a bakery one..
OTG

After the grilling is over, the rotisserie rod along with the food item should be removed from the socket with the help of rotisserie tong.

  • Place the tong rods below the rotisserie rod notches, provided at the extreme ends.
  • Lift up the left end of the rotisserie rod slightly.

  • Prepare the cookie dough as per recipe instruction.
  • Preheat the oven by set the temperature, and timer..
  • Put the cookie ray and bake it for desired timing..

To bake a perfect browned cookie:

I faced So many failure in cookie.. i know cookie is the basic and easy one to bake without any trouble.. but for me it took over a year to learn to bake a perfect cookie.. after i thought my timing is not properly set, then i fall in doubt with the temperature and tried cookie from minimum temperature to maximum temperature.. then atlast i changed my baking pan.. Yes Baking pan is very very important.. earlier i used the cookie tray which i got with the Oven Set.. then i started trying cookie in some cake pan and some other tray.. it turned pretty good what i expected..  I share this sentence with you all, may or may not.. if you find difficult in baking a cookie.. cookie tray too a part of the failure..
Earlier when i was baking the cookie.. i get burnt bottom and under cooked top.. which was annoying me a lot.. now after changing the cookie tray I’m done with the trail..
