Automatic cooking - hints
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 automatic 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
•Never leave food in the oven to cool slowly after cooking, serve immediately or refrigerate.
