  • Page 11 D D O 6 1 G A For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip.

  • Page 12: Helpful Hints

    D D O 6 1 G A Helpful hints Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible.

  • Page 14 D D O 6 1 G A 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 Shelf on base air to circulate around the food.
  • Page 15 D D O 6 1 G A Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil t prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil whe roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extende cooktimes.
