Need help with OTG Modes

[helloworld]

Could someone who has experience, in layman terminology explain these modes and their usage, differences (preferably Indian variants for explanation).

TIA!

Thanks, @Strange :

• Baking: Uses bottom heat, ideal for cakes and bread.

• used for making things from dough or making something which doesn't exist using dough

• Toasting: Quickly browns bread using both top and bottom elements, perfect for breakfast.

• to make something warm and crisp (and usually brown or black) by heat

• Grilling: Utilizes top heat for meats and veggies, giving a charred flavor.

• cook food on a metal frame over a fire or like cooking on charcoal

• Roasting: Similar to baking but often at higher temperatures; used for meats like chicken.

• cook food such as meat or vegetables or making something which is already exist (general thing that we do at home)

• Tandoori: High heat with a focus on achieving a smoky flavor, often used for marinated dishes.

• Bagel: A specialized toasting mode that browns the cut side of bagels.

• Tikka: Similar to tandoori but typically involves smaller pieces of meat or paneer.

Dehydrate: Low heat to remove moisture from fruits or herbs.

• Instead of cooking with heat, dehydrators draw moisture out of foods so they dry out and can be enjoyed for a long time.

Defrost: Gently warms frozen items without cooking them.

• allow your food to thaw out in as little as half the time, making it ready to cook that much sooner.

Convection: Circulates hot air for even cooking, great for baking multiple trays.



Rotisserie: Rotates meat for even cooking and browning.


-----------------

It seems all are interlinked and works for all foods, but couldn't find any specific way to explain or usage scenarios for these modes..

Really need some help to understand better, if you have knowledge - do share. TIA

Here is what I gathered:

Roasting / Baking is only temperature difference, but why two modes when we can manually adjust temperature in these OTGs.? Same for Roast/Tandoori/Tikka.

While roasting and baking may seem similar, they cater to different textures and flavors. Each mode enhances specific dishes, maximizing your cooking versatility.

It helps, T!. If possible, could you share some sample dish names for these like baking cakes.

whats the major difference between,

grill / tandoori / tikka = all of them providing smoky/charcoal favour.?

Here are sample dishes for each cooking mode along with their key differences:

Sample Dishes

- Bake: Cakes, Cookies, Bread
- Toast: Toasted Bread, Bagels
- Grill: Paneer Tikka, Vegetable Skewers
- Roast: Roasted Chicken, Aloo Gobi
- Tandoori: Tandoori Chicken, Tandoori Paneer
- Bagel: Toasted Bagels with Cream Cheese
- Tikka: Chicken Tikka, Paneer Tikka
- Dehydrate: Dried Fruits, Vegetable Chips
- Defrost: Frozen Vegetables, Meat
- Convection: Baked Samosas, Cookies
- Rotisserie: Whole Roasted Chicken

Differences Between Grill, Tandoori, and Tikka

- Grill: Uses direct heat from above or below; suitable for quick cooking and achieving a charred flavor.

- Tandoori: Cooks in a clay oven (tandoor) at high temperatures, infusing a distinct smoky flavor; typically uses whole or bone-in pieces.

- Tikka: Involves marinated boneless meat skewered and grilled; focuses on quicker cooking and is often served as appetizers.

While all three methods provide a smoky flavor, the cooking techniques and types of meat used differentiate them significantly.
