AUTOMATIC COOKING

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

-Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

-To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when you require it.

-Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

-Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.

-If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.

-Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

-We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

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

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

-Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

-Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

-Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

-Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly bifore serving.

-Only reheat food once.
