RETAINED HEAT'I" COOKING
ABOUT RETAINED HEAT' COOKING.. .
When an oven is used for normal cooking methods, such
as
baking
and roasting, the heating element heats the
oven cavity to maintain the temperature set on the ther-
mostat. Certain amounts of this heat escape from the
oven and are wasted. The CHAMBERS RETAINED HEAT
oven is specially insulated around the oven cavity
and
door so that this heat is "retained" inside the oven and
used for cooking food. This means that you can heat your
Chambers oven to the required temperature, turn it off
and
cook
food by "Retained Heat." When using the Re-
tained Heat method for your regular recipes, the baking
time must be shortened and the baking temperature
raised. Please refer to the "Recipes for Success" Re-
tained Heat Cookbook for more information.
