Using the Oven
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
th~t 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 oi I to prevent
discolouration during the
delay
period.
•
Meat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
• Lemon
juice can be added to
•
c·ertain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips
and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.
