'S' (Slow) cooking (LH oven)

The 'S' setting is a very low temperature for slow cooking,
overnight or while you are out or at work. The 'S' setting can
also be used for keeping food warm.
You can cook on 'S' throughout, or use a 30 minute 'boost'
period at gas Mark 6 and then 'S' cook.
When roasting joints, poultry or pot roasting, always cook at
Mark 6 for 30 minutes at the beginning of the cooking period.
You can 'S' cook for periods of 6 to 12 hours. This technique
is particularly useful if you want to cook a dish overnight or
while you are out at work during the day.
Frozen foods must be thoroughly thawed out before

'S' cooking.
Whole poultry should not be cooked on 'S' . Chicken

casseroles are fine.
Casseroles must be brought to boiling point on the hotplate
immediately before 'S' cooking.
Poultry and rolled joints should not be stuffed before
cooking. The stuffing should be cooked separately. Poultry
and pork should be cooked in the top half of the oven, and
other meats not lower than shelf position 4.
A roasting joint should be covered with cooking foil, or with a
roasting bag to reduce shrinkage and retain juices.
Should further browning be necessary, uncover the meat and
increase the temperature to Mark 4 for a short period.
Cut root vegetables into small pieces unless cooking whole,
e.g. jacket potatoes.
Cover dishes tightly with a lid or foil to prevent evaporation
and transfer of flavour.
Once the oven has been loaded and the 'S' setting is in
operation resist the temptation to open the oven door. Heat
will be lost and the cooking time extended.
A meat thermometer is recommended for checking that
a joint or poultry is sufficiently cooked. Insert the probe
through the thickest part of the meat. The temperatures to be
expected are as follows:
Beef rare
medium
well done
Lamb
Pork fresh
cured
Poultry
Veal
