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 BD62 & BD52):
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 & Function Control (C)
clockwise.
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 refrige-
rator 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 ap-
pearance 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 circulation) 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 ther-
mometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before coo-
king. 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 neces-
sary to check during cooking to avoid overcooking.
