oven gloves
19Use oven gloves to open and close the door, use them to insert and remove the racks and tray.
20 We’ve even made the knobs big enough to use while wearing oven gloves, so you’ve no excuse for burning your fingers.
cooking temperatures
21 Oven temperatures are comparable with those of a standard electric oven.
22 As the oven is small, cooking times will generally be slightly shorter than with a large conventional oven.
23 These temperatures are for guidance only.
24 They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food, using both elements, with the door closed, and the fan turned off.
25 Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
26 Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. 27 Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
