General Guidelines

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting through the food.

Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.

Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode.

Light Cakes – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.

Rich Dense Cakes – Stand 15-20 mins.

Fish – Stand 2-3 mins.

Egg Dishes – Stand 1-2 mins.

Precooked Convenience Foods – Stand

for 2-3 mins.

Plated Meals – Stand for 2-3 mins.

Vegetables – Boiled potatoes benefit from standing 1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.

Defrosting – It is essential to allow standing time to complete the process. This can vary from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.

If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven and cook for additional time.
