Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

Mince pies -
CAUTION
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and will warm the
pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar
content of the filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your
mouth.
Christmas puddings and liquids -
Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 8 and 56.
Do not leave unattended.
Do not add extra alcohol.
Babiesʼ bottles -
CAUTION
Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully
before feeding a baby.
See page 52 for details.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIESʼ
BOTTLES. If you have a special microwave steriliser we urge extreme caution, due to the low quantity
of water involved. It is vital to follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly.
Increasing and Decreasing Recipes
Increasing recipes
• To increase a recipe from 4 to 6 servings,
increase each ingredient listed by half. To
double the quantity, simply double every
ingredient listed.
• Do not forget that large quantities will require
a larger dish. Make sure that it is deep
enough to prevent the recipe from boiling
over during cooking.
• Cover as directed in the recipe. Stir or
rearrange foods as recommended.
• Increase the stand times by 5 mins. per
lb/450g.
• Always check the recipe during cooking.
• When increasing the ingredients to 6
servings, add an extra one third of the original
cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power
for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 6 servings.
CAUTION
• When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add on
half the original cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 45
mins. on MEDIUM power for 8 servings.
Decreasing recipes
• To decrease a recipe from 4 servings to 2
servings, halve the ingredients listed.
• Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller
than the one recommended in the recipe,
however make sure it is deep enough to stop
food boiling over.
• Allow half to two-thirds of the original cooking
time, ie. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4
servings will become 15-20 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 2 servings.
