the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.

for babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few
minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
14. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it
has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in
the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.

jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar
content do not use plastic containers.

if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the
utensil.
