To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons.
1. Do not place appliance where it can fall or be pulled into water or other liquid.

SELECTING YOUR FOOD
MEAT
Beef : Select rich, red, fine-textured meat with a light covering of fat (having a
marbled appearance). Buy whole pieces and cut to suit – you can really save a lot.
Lamb: Select lean meat. Meat should be soft, pinkish-red and fine textured.
Pork : Select lean meat. Meat should be very light pink in color, fine textured and
fresh smelling.
FISH
Whole: Select only fresh fish with full, clear eyes and bright gills - a sure sign of
freshness. Also, scales should be bright and clean – not slimy. Fish should
look and smell fresh from the sea. Flesh should be firm and spring back when
touched.
Fillets: Select only firm fillets without discoloration that have a pleasant sea
smell. Fillets must not be dull, soft or ooze water when touched.
POULTRY
Select only fresh meat or birds. Poultry should look and smell fresh.
VEGETABLES / FRUIT
Select firm, almost ripe fruit; check for bruises and blemishes – color should be
clear and bright. Vegetables should be crisp and of good color. Try to avoid
vegetables sold tightly packed in plastic wrap - they will spoil quickly.
Never use vegetables that are soft or limp.
FOOD PREPARATION & PRESENTATION
PREPARATION
Careful preparation pays off in an appetizing, healthy and tasty meal(s).
Always remove excess fat. Clean and trim vegetables and
garnishes, removing all bruises and blemishes. Use only the freshest meats and
vegetables.
Always ensure that all items of the meal are cooked at the right time. This usu-
ally requires different starting times that must be planned ahead.
PRESENTATION
Try a few of these interesting ways to perk up your table and make any meal a
festive occasion:
• Slice a freshly baked loaf of bread or dinner rolls into a basket lined with
colorful napkins. Serve with butter or margarine, softened and mixed with
grated cheese, garlic salt or your favorite seasoning.
• Main course meats are more attractive when displayed on a large platter
surrounded by fresh parsley sprigs, carrot curls (made with a potato peeler)
and radish roses.
• Serve sauces in a pretty piece of china or glassware. Drop in a ladle and bring
to the table on a plate for easier passing between guests.
• Flowers on the table are always effective, but in a pinch use a grouping of your
favorite figurines or house plants.
• Candles make dinners cozy, so turn down the lights and turn up the charm.
Float small, flat candles in a large, clear bowl filled with water. The effect is
magical.
