For roasting joints of meat or poultry
and for pot roasts preheat the oven to

minutes, then adjust the oven control to

Hints for cooking frozen &
chilled foods
• When cooking frozen or chilled foods,
please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If cooking more than
one tray or item, cooking times
may need to be increased.
• Please ensure that foods are
piping hot before consumption.
• Always
use the temperature setting
stated on food packaging when
cooking convenience food.
• Preheat the oven if requested.
• Never overload the tray - eg; oven
chips should be placed onto the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
• Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are
only intended as a guide and do
not take individual preferences
into account.
• Always cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer
unless packaging advises otherwise.
