FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling -film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir (before serving). Take special care when serving babies, children or the elderly. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns.

Stir, turn & stand:

For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or defrosting.

Initial and final temperature of food:

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more cooking than food at room temperature.

The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.
