For your Safety

The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
AUTOMATIC COOKIN
The main oven can be controlled automatically.
UIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKIN
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not
cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as ossible when it goes into the oven, ideally
straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and oultry should be thawed
thoroughly before it is ut in the oven.
4. Warm food should never be laced in the oven if there is to be a delay eriod.
Stews re ared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon
as ossible.
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked oultry or meat, for exam le She herds
Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay eriod.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay
eriod is ke t to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to revent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie oultry,
joints, etc) the delayed start should be ke t to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay eriod, so
it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. Foods which discolour should be rotected by coating in fat or tossing in
water to which lemon juice has been added, rior to lacing food in the oven.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to revent boiling over.
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to revent the
loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
