Oven Timer Operation
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1 . Time of Day
2 . Automatic Cooking
3 . Minute Minder
The automatic timer can control the Main oven only. When the timer
control has been set for the main oven it is possible to use the other
oven on non automatic cooking.
Never operate the grill when the Oven is set to cook automatically.
1 . Select foods which will take the same time to cook and
require approximately the same temperature.
2 . Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about
to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure
the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating
before serving.
3 . Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the
oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and
poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the
oven.
4 . We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven
if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the
meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5 . We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically
if there is to be a delay period.
6 . Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method,
so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
7 . On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delay start should be kept to a
minimum.
8 . Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before
serving.
9 . Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat
or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added,
prior to placing food in the oven.
1 0 . Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
11. Foods should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container
to prevent the loss of liquid during cooling. Aluminium foil
gives a good seal.
1 2 . Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
