Hotplate
The hotplate has two different heat settings, the boiling
plate setting being the hottest of the two, and the
simmering plate setting at a lower heat.
Boiling Plate Setting
The boiling plate setting is used for making toast, boiling
a kettle, stir-frying and cooking at a higher heat.
Simmering Plate Setting
The simmering plate setting is for slower cooking, such
as sauces, simmering pans and can also be used to
cook directly on for toasted sandwiches, drop scones,
non-fat fried eggs and quesadillas.
Top Oven (Roasting Oven Setting)
The hottest oven setting for high temperature cooking;
pastries, breads, roasting of meat, vegetables and
poultry, grilling at the top of the oven and frying on the
floor grid on the base of the oven. The ovens are vented
into the room, so some cooking smells will be present.
Top Oven (Baking Oven Setting)
A moderate oven setting for cooking cakes and biscuits,
baking fish, lasagne or shepherd's pie, plus roasting
meat and poultry at a medium heat. Cooking sweet and
savoury together is no problem as the flavours do not
mix.
Simmering Oven
Long, slow cooking in the simmering oven develops
flavours and makes the toughest meat tender. It's large
capacity means several pans can be stacked here; soup,
casserole, steamed rice, steamed carrots and poached
pears all cooking simultaneously, without any danger of
burning.
