SECTION FIVE: USING THE OVEN

Other Uses of Bake

SLOW COOKING AND LOW TEMPERATURE USES OF THE OVEN

In addition to providing perfect temperatures for baking and roasting, the oven can be used at low oven temperatures to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature, to dehydrate food and to warm plates.

Hot cooked foods can be kept at serving temperatures. Set the oven to bake and use the temperature suggested on the chart.

Foods needing to be kept moist must be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40˚F to 140˚F more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods at below 275º F is not recommended.
