General Guidelines
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket
potatoes and cakes, require a
STANDING TIME (inside or
outside of the oven) after cook ing,
to allow heat to finish con ducting
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
com plete 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.
