COLD START COOKING
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven.
Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for
perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking.
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape.
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven.
STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.
4. Only re-heat food once.
'COOK CHILL' DISHES
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow the
packet instructions for cooking time.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
If using Aluminium Foil:
1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.
2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.
