Setting and cooking times
These are given as a guide for best results.
However, vary the temperature and cooking
times to suit the foods prepared and the
personal tastes of your family.
Omission or addition of ingredients to the
recipes will alter the suggested cooking
times, and adjustments should be made
accordingly – your own imagination will
personalise these recipes.
Many recipes in your files or cookbooks
are perfectly suitable for cooking in this
appliance. Check first to see if there is
a similar recipe in this book, then follow
accordingly.
