Important:
Food is more susceptible to the growth
of food poisoning organisms in warm
conditions. If the weather is hot, either
take care to ensure that food is not
left standing in a warm oven, or avoid
using the automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking
Food is placed in a cold oven so you
will need to add about 10 - 15 minutes
onto the cooking time to allow for the
oven to reach the selected temperature.
Wine or beer may ferment, and cream
may curdle during the delay period,
so it is best to add these ingredients
just before serving.
Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay period.
Meat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
Lemon juice can be added to certain
fruits and vegetables such as apples,
pears, turnips and parsnips to prevent
discolouration during the delay period.
