COOKING GUIDELINES

These cooking guidelines are suggestions only. You should experiment with your food products to determine the cooking times that will give you the best results. Variables which affect cooking time include size, weight, thickness of foods, temperature, density, previous condition of the foods (fresh, pre-blanched or frozen) and degree of doneness desired.
