HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking
time and temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require
reheating, set the end time so the food is ready
when you require it.
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted
before placing in the oven.
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator
and keep it as cool as possible.
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing
in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay
time to a minimum.
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay
start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm
and produce harmful bacteria in the food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked
poultry or meat, e.g. Shepherd's Pie, should not be
cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum
prevent bacterial growth in food.
to
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle
during the delay period so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
10.Foods which discolour should be protected by
coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon
juice has been added, prior to placing food in the
oven.
11.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full
to prevent boiling over.
12.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a
container to prevent the loss of liquid during
cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
13.Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked
thoroughly before serving.
14.Only reheat food once.
