The ovens have a ‘Slow Cook’ setting specially designed to reduce energy usage.
To operate, turn the oven thermostat control to 90˚C.
Some advantages of slow cooking are:
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care must be taken when warming bone china. DO NOT place food or
plates on the floor of the oven.
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive cuts of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be very economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
Bearing in mind these advantages, it makes sense to cook larger quantities of food
than required and store them in a freezer to be used cold or for re-heating.
It is important to follow the guide lines given for preparing food using the ‘Slow Cook’
setting.
