Cooking using the timer

The timer can be used to turn just one oven or both on and off automatically. The start and stop time must be the same for both ovens but different cooking temperatures can be set.

If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the same time as the timer is set for automatic cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens first. Then you can adjust either of them manually in the normal way.

You can set the oven to turn on any time over the following 24 hour period

If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger containers.

Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.

Don’t place warm food in the oven. Don’t use an oven already warm. Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.

Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as fermentation may take place.

To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes just before serving.

Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a delay period, should be coated in melted fat or immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.

Many frozen foods are ideal for delayed cooking and can be placed in the oven while still frozen.

Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period.

Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before placing in the oven.

Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.
