Section FIVE: USING THE COOKTOP
Other Uses of Bake
SLOW COOKING AND LOW TEMPERATURE USES OF THE OVEN
In addition to providing perfect
temperatures for baking and
roasting, the oven can be used at
low temperatures to keep hot,
cooked foods at serving
temperature, to dehydrate food
and to warm plates.
Hot cooked foods can be kept at
serving temperatures. Set the
oven to bake and use the
temperature suggested on the
chart.
For best results, preheat the oven
to the desired temperature.
Foods that need to be kept moist
must be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil.

NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40°F to 140°F more than
