Food characteristics
Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Cut the food into
thinner parts if possible, and arrange in single layer.
The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food cooked in the
oven increases.
Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can
penetrate from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces
the same size.
Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks,
may take longer to cook in the thicker parts. Check these parts are cooked
thoroughly before serving.
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
Chilled foods will take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. The
temperature of the container is not the actual temperature of the food or drink.
Seasoning or  avouring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades
or rubs, their taste may become light when cooking with steam. Add
seasoning or  avouring again after cooking if necessary.
- Advice for STEAM -
NOTE:
• Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked / reheated before serving.
• Cooking time will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size,
shape and material of the container.
Face & Hands: Always use thick oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven.
Be careful when opening the oven door to allow steam to dissipate. Do not remove the food
from the oven with your bare hand.
Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when
serving to babies, children or the elderly.
