  • Page 13: Baking Trays And Dishes

    Z C G 7 9 0 1 X Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food.
  • Page 14 Z C G 7 9 0 1 X Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes.

  • Page 25: Slow Cooking

    Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven. The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting.
  • Page 26 Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with tight fitting lid or tin foil. Vegetables Cut into small pieces.
