SLOW COOKING AND LOW TEMPERATURE USES OF THE OVEN
In addition to providing perfect tem-
peratures for baking and roasting,
the oven can be used at low oven
temperatures to keep hot, cooked
foods at serving temperature, to
cook foods long and slow (as if using
a crock pot), to dehydrate food, to
warm plates, and to defrost foods.
Hot cooked foods can be kept at
serving temperatures. Set the oven
to bake and use the temperature
suggested on the chart.
Foods needing to be kept moist
must be covered with a lid or alumi-
num foil.
Slow Cooking of one food or an
oven meal is possible by setting the
oven to bake and the thermostat to
225˚F.
Uncooked frozen foods can be
thawed with the oven selector set
to bake and the thermostat to
150˚F. Keep food tightly wrapped in
foil and thaw just enough to handle.
Cook immediately. Do not re-
freeze.
Frozen cooked foods can be
thawed with the oven selector set
to bake and the Thermostat set to
170˚F. Loosen the freezer paper
wrapping. Do not use plastic.
