COOKING GUIDES
For optimum cooking keep edges of baking dishes and pans at least 4cm from the sides of the oven.
This allows free heat circulation and ensures even cooking.
Where possible remove large cuts of meat 1kg or over from the fridge 1 hour prior to cooking. Allow,
to stand covered and away from direct sun/heat. This process will take the “chill” of the fridge away
from the food and assist in more even cooking.
