COOKING GUIDE
COOKING GUIDE
Our figures are based on 8oz potatoes, but much larger ones will require longer baking. When using
larger potatoes adjust the oven capacity accordingly. It is worth weighing the size of potato you expect
to use.
¾
60 x 8oz potatoes at 190 - 200°C for 60 minutes
¾
45 x 10oz potatoes at 190 - 200°C for 70 minutes
When the oven is fully loaded, particularly with larger potatoes, air-flow inside may become
restricted. If this is the case, it may be desirable to reduce the cooking temperature whilst
increasing the cooking time.
ABOUT POTATOES
ABOUT POTATOES
We recommend the use of washed and graded
baking
potatoes as non-baking varieties take longer to
cook and don’t produce such good results, King Edward, Maris Piper or Desiree are three good baking
varieties although your supplier may be able to recommend others to you. Some ways you can prepare
your potatoes include:
¾
Rubbing the skins in olive oil and salt. ~ (makes the skins crisper)
¾
Pricking the skins ~ (may reduce the risk of the potatoes bursting)
¾
Wrapping them in foil ~ (produces a much “wetter” potato with a soft, thin skin, also
increases the cooking time, ~ not really a proper “jacket” potato).
The skin of the potato will become thicker and crunchier if it is cooked for longer at a lower
temperature.
However
once the baked potatoes are removed from the oven, the skins will become softer
as they reduce in temperature. Once removed from the very hot temperature of the baking oven and
placed into the lower temperature of the holding oven, the potatoes will inevitably reduce in core
temperature. The display oven is intentionally at a lower temperature to prevent the potato from over-
cooking; this also helps to prolong the display life of the potato.
Despite being prepared and cooked in the same way, the same batch of potatoes can produce different
results! Please use the method of baking that suits you best and gives you the results you want ~
HAPPY BAKING!
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always unplug oven at socket before cleaning.
To maintain the visual appeal of the baker, the exterior panels, doors and framework should be cleaned
with warm soapy water and a soft cloth and then polished with Mr Sheen or similar and a soft cloth.
Always clean Stainless Steel surfaces with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
The glass menu board & top display area door glass can be cleaned with proprietary glass cleaner.
Wiping painted surfaces with a damp cloth will leave unsightly smears if it is not polished afterwards.
Clean the oven after use when it has cooled or is still slightly warm as dried on spills will be difficult to
remove later.
Never use abrasive materials on any of the oven surfaces.
The oven interior can be cleaned using a normal domestic oven interior cleaner, please follow the
instructions carefully.
To facilitate easy cleaning, you can completely remove the wire trays in main oven, and remove the fan
element cover (unscrew and detach but do not remove the screws completely). Clean in in warm soapy
water; and reverse to reassemble.
We recommended that door catches on main oven and top display doors are oiled and greased regularly.
