General Guidelines

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the centre completely.

■MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.

■JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.

■LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.

■RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins.

■FISH – Stand 2-5 mins.

■EGG DISHES – Stand 2-3 mins.

■PRECOOKED CONVENIENCE FOODS – Stand for 5 mins.

■PLATED MEALS – Stand for 2-5 mins.

■VEGETABLES – Boiled potatoes benefit from standing

1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.

■DEFROSTING – It is essential to allow standing time to complete the process. This can vary from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.

If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven and cook for additional time.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be

peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

MOISTURE

CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season. Jacket potatoes are a

particular example of this. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted throughout the year. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out further during storage and cooking times may differ from ingredients freshly purchased.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. However it should be pierced before

cooking, to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the packet “suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do not line dishes with cling film.
