The Slow Cook Oven
The Slow Cook oven is intended for slow cooking items such
as casseroles, joints of meat, etc. Your Slow Cook oven is
capable of cooking a complete meal; for instance – casserole,
rice pudding and jacket potatoes – or just warming the dishes
(use only heat resistant dishes).
Points to remember when Slow Cooking:
• Preheat the oven for 20–30 minutes before starting to
cook.
• Do not allow dishes to touch the heating elements
either side of the oven.
• Bring casseroles, soups etc to the boil on the hob before
placing into a suitable casserole for slow cooking.
• Make sure that casseroles have sufficient liquid,
particularly when cooking over a long period.
• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food whilst it is
cooking to retain moisture.
• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before
preparing the food.
• Wrap washed and pricked jacket potatoes in foil before
cooking.
• Make sure that meat and poultry reach a safe
temperature of at least 90 °C before eating.
• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
Your Slow Cook oven is also useful for warming plates and
serving dishes (use only heat resistant dishes).
You can cook a fruitcake in the Slow Cook oven on the
maximum heat setting (if perhaps your other ovens are in
use). If you are using the fan oven below the Slow Cook oven
at the same time allow a little more cooking time.
You can also produce crisp, white meringues cooked in the
Slow Cook oven.
Timings for cooking in the Slow Cook oven will depend upon
the temperature, quantity and type of dish you are cooking,
as a guide for casseroles, a minimum of 3 hours cooking time
is recommended.
Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.
Operating the Ovens
Fan Oven
Turn the oven knob to the desired temperature (Fig. 2.24).
The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached
the temperature selected. It will then cycle on and off during
cooking.
Multifunction Oven
The multifunction oven has two controls: a function selector
and a temperature setting knob (Fig. 2.25).
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. Turn
the oven temperature knob to the temperature required (Fig.

The oven heating light will glow until the oven has reached
the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off
during cooking.
