cooking feature.
AUTOMATIC
COOKING
The 1st oven can be controlled automatically.
HINTS ON
AUTOMATIC
COOKING
- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.
- To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when
you require it.
- Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.
- Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.
- If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay
time to a minimum.
- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven to be
warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.
- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie, should not be
cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.
- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
- 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.
- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
- 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.
- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
- Only reheat food once.
