Using the Main Oven
for Other Functions
‘S’ SLOW Setting
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and
warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be
taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven
floor as this could
damage both the oven lining and
the plates which are being warmed.
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less
splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of
overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up
to 2 hours.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and
ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning
the Main Oven Control clockwise ensuring the oven
door is fully closed.
Storage and re-heating of food:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately,
place it in a clean container and cool as soon as
possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the
refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is
piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food
once.
Points to consider when preparing food
for “SLOW” cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into
the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a
minimum of 6 hours, however,
if they are cooked for 1
-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance
may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or
poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry
are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or
poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in foil
and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow
setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are
thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat
thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before
cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food in
the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the
boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal
(not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to prevent
loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even
sized small pieces to cook properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that
the beans are soaked and then boiled fora minimum of
10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any
toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be
necessary to check during cooking to avoid
overcooking.
