at the end of the day to cook the evening meal, and then off just
before you retire. Do not forget this appliance has loads of stored
heat, use it to save fuel accordingly.
COLD START COOKING
Choose food carefully when there is a time delay before cooking
commences. Ideally food should be taken from the refrigerator
and placed in the oven and cooked. Never place hot or warm
food from previous usage in the oven for a delayed cook time.
Remember there will be no one attending to the food during
cooking, so do not overfill dishes.
Remember that there are different heat zones in the oven and
place the food on the correct shelf position.
Perishable foods should be very fresh.
Protect food, wherever possible with a lid or
aluminium foil.
Important: Keep the delay cook time as short as possible, given the
right conditions of food, moisture and warmth bacteria will rapidly
multiply.
THE MAIN REASON FOR FOOD POISONING IS THE STORAGE
OF HIGH RISK FOOD AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
