Using the Main Oven
for Other Functions
'S' SLOW COOK 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:
(for models BD62SS/2 & BD52B/2 - BD52K/2 -
BD52P/2):
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure
the door is fully closed.
2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature 'S' by turning the
Main Oven Temperature Control (C) and
Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to Fan Oven
mode.
(for models DQ47I/2 & DE47X/2):
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure
the door is fully closed.
2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature 'S' by turning Main
Oven Temperature Control (C).
STORAGE & 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 lb) 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 c
irculation) 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 for a 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 chec
k during cooking to avoid
overcooking.
