Using the Ovens
Important:
Food is more susceptible
to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking
l
Food is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 -
15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
l
Wine or beer may ferment, and
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
l
Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
l
Meat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
l
Lemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.
