Automatic cooking
These notes below are to help you with
using the automatic cooking facility.
Please make sure that you read them
carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
•
Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
•
Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
•
Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start, as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked, at room tem-
perature, perhaps for several
hours, especially when the weath-
er is hot.
•
Make sure that meat, poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
•
Cover dishes with lids or foil, as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cook-
ing.
Do not
•
Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
•
Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry, or
pastry dishes with wet fillings,
as they are not suitable for auto-
matic cooking.
•
Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before set-
ting for delayed cooking.
•
Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids, as they might boil over.
•
Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking, serve
immediately or refrigerate.
