7.We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g. Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

8.Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.

9.Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
