INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Take out wire trays and position potatoes ready for loading.
Push the rocker switch to ON position, (green neon and top light will illuminate and fan in oven will
operate). Turn thermostat control to desired setting (start with 220°C and adjust as required). When the
red neon goes off, the oven has reached temperature and the potatoes can be loaded.
After approximately 50 minutes check the potatoes . As a general rule the Majesty will cook an oven of
10oz potatoes in about 1 hour.
When cooked sufficiently, the potatoes will feel soft when gently squeezed, they can then be transferred
to the top display cabinet where they will be kept hot.
If you do not wish to bake a second batch but still have potatoes in the top display oven, leave the main
oven on at setting 3/200°C to maintain top oven temperature of 100-125°C.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE OPERATED BY SUITABLY TRAINED STAFF. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES MUST CHILDREN COME INTO CONTACT WITH OR OPERATE THIS
APPLIANCE.
COOKING GUIDE
How long it will take to cook an oven full of potatoes will depend upon a number of factors: the size of
potato, oven temperature and even the type of potato. In general, however, you should expect:
100 x 6/8 oz potatoes at 200°C for 60 minutes approx.
80 x 10oz potatoes at 200°C for 80 minutes approx.
When the oven is fully loaded, particularly with larger potatoes, air-flow inside the oven may become
restricted. In this case, we suggest you reduce the cooking temperature and increase the
cooking time.
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:
Rubbing the skins in olive oil and salt. ~ (makes the skins crisper)
Pricking the skins ~ (may reduce the risk of the potatoes bursting)
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!
