Delayed time cooking is ideal for foods
which do not require a preheated oven,
such as meats and casseroles. Do not use
delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies,
etc. - they will not rise properly. Before
using timed cooking, make sure the
clock is set to the correct time of day.
(See the "Setting the clock" section.)
