Cooking hints
•
Larger items may benefit from being turned.
•
Shelf positions are counted from the top.
•
Put dishes in the centre of the shelf.
•
It is important to check that food is piping hot before
serving.
Deep fat frying
• DO NOT
try to fry too much food at a time, especially
frozen food.
•
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too
much, resulting in greasy food.
•
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it
slowly into the hot oil or fat, Frozen foods in particular,
will cause frothing or spitting, if added too quickly.
• NEVER
heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.
•
Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks
of oil or fat.
