Casseroles

When choosing which oven level to use, take into account the size of the casserole dish with its lid. The following oven settings are recommended:

–Fan Heat D

–Conventional A

The following dishes are suitable for this type of slower cooking: covered pots made of ovenproof glass and china, and earthenware pots, which could also be used as serving dishes. They should have heat-resistant handles and knobs.

^Put the rack in at the 1st runner height from the bottom, and place the prepared casserole with the food for braising or stewing on this.

^Select the oven setting and the tem- perature.

Cooking times

Consult your cook book.

Please note:

Cover dishes which are to be cooked in their own juice and/or steam, e.g. po- tatoes or vegetables, so that they do not dry out. If there is no lid use alu- minium foil or damp cooking parch- ment.

Cook without a lid when a crusty finish or topping is required, eg for meat or au gratin dishes.

Poaching

Fish or fruit can be poached in the oven in a covered dish.

Bottling

Bottling should only be undertaken by an experienced cook who has received proper training in this method of pre- serving fruit and vegetables, and un- derstands the implications of the chem- ical reactions involved.
