General Guidelines
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on
some foods will cause steam
to build up during cooking.
These foods must be pierced
or a strip of skin should be
peeled off before cooking to
allow the steam to escape.
Eggs, potatoes, apples,
sausages etc, will all need to
be pierced before cooking.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL
EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g.
vegetables and fruit, vary in
moisture content throughout
the season. Jacket potatoes
are a particular example of
this. For this reason cooking
times may have to be
adjusted throughout the year.
Dry ingredients e.g. rice,
pasta, can dry out further
during storage and cooking
times may differ from
ingredients freshly purchased.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food
moist and the trapped steam
assists in speeding up
cooking times. However it
should be pierced before
cooking, to allow excess
steam to escape. Always take
care when removing cling film
from a dish as the build-up of
steam will be very hot. Always
purchase cling film that states
on the packet “suitable for
microwave cooking” and use
as a covering only. Do not
line dishes with cling film.
VEGETABLES
- Boiled potatoes benefit from standing for 1-2 mins., however most other
types of vegetables can be served immediately.
DEFROSTING
- It is essential to allow standing time to complete the process. This can vary
from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.
If food is not cooked after
STANDING TIME
, return to oven and cook for additional time.
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and
cakes, require a
STANDING TIME
(inside or
outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow
heat to finish conducting to cook the centre
completely.
