Using the (Main) Oven

15

Automatic cooking in the main oven

The  automatic  cooking  facility  is
controlled  by  the  programmer  (see
‘Programmer/  Clock’  section)  and
allows  complete  meals,  or  individual
dishes to be cooked while you are out
of the house, to be ready for when you
return.  The ‘

Ready Time

’ should be set

as  close  as  possible  to,  or  just  after
your anticipated return so food is not
left standing in a warm oven.

Do

l

Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie;  preferably  straight  from  the
refrigerator.

l

Choose foods which are suitable for
cooking from a cold start, as some
dishes  will  be  affected  by  being
left uncooked, at room temperature,
perhaps for several hours - eg; a
wet filling on a pastry base.

l

Make  sure  that  meat  and  poultry
are thoroughly thawed (but still cold
from the refrigerator), before placing
them in the oven, and avoid using
rolled joints of meat which can be
more susceptible to the growth of
food poisoning organisms.

l

Cover  dishes  with  lids  or  foil  to
keep  the  food  moist,  prevent  the
transfer of odours, and protect from
possible  contamination;  the  food
can be uncovered towards the end
of cooking to crisp and brown.

Do not

l

Warm  food should  never  be
placed  in  the  oven  if  there  is  a
delay period. Stews prepared by
frying  the  meat  and  vegetables
first should be cooked as soon as
possible,  or  refrigerated  prior  to
placing in the oven.

l

Some  dishes  are  not  suitable for
cooking on automatic - eg; dishes
containing  left  over  cooked  meat
or  poultry,  eggs,  cooked  rice  or
seafood.

l

Do not put food items (intended for
automatic  cooking)  into  a  warm
oven.  Allow the oven to c o o l b e f o r e
setting for automatic cooking.

l

Do  not  over-fill  dishes  containing
liquids as they might boil over.

l

Never leave  food  in  the  oven  to
cool  slowly  after  cooking;  serve
immediately or refrigerated.

l

Never use the automatic facility to
reheat  ‘cook  chill’  foods  as  they
should  go  straight  from  the
refrigerator into a preheated oven.
