when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as
cling -film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Stir, turn & stand:
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand
after cooking or defrosting.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of
cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more
cooking than food at room temperature.
The temperature of the container is not a true
indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut
into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to
release heat or steam.
