operate

the

oven

General

information

on

baking,

roasting

and

grilling

A

t

Risk

of

scalding

by

hot

steam!

Take

care

when

opening

the

oven

door

as

steam

may

escape.

Tips

for

baking

Select

the

correct

shelf

position

before

turning

the

oven

on

—

don't

move

oven

shelves

when

hot.

Always

preheat

the

oven

first

for

10

minutes

to

ensure

the

food

is

at

the

correct

temperature

as

soon

as

it

goes

into

the

oven.

Use

good

quality

baking

tins

such

as

non

stick

or

aluminium.

Line

tins

with

greaseproof

or

baking

paper

to

prevent

sticking,

if

necessary.

Do

not

fill

cake

tin

more

than

half

full.

If

baking

one

tray

of

food

or

cake,

place

centrally

on

the

shelf

level

and

centrally

in

the

oven.

If

cooking

on

more

than

one

level,

swop

food

between

the

shelves

at

least

halfway

through

cooking.

Try

not

to

open

the

oven

door

too

much

during

cooking.

To

check

if

a

cake

is

cooked,

insert

a

skewer

or

cocktail

stick

into

the

centre.

If

it

comes

out

clean,

the

cake

is

done,

if

it

has

food

stuck

to

it,

continue

to

cook

the

cake

for

a

few

minutes

more

and

repeat

the

process.

Tips

for

roasting

•

Preheat

oven

first.

If

possible

take

meat

or

poultry

out

of

refrigerator

30

minutes

before

cooking.

Weigh

meat

first

and

calculate

how

long

it

will

take

to

cook.

•

Before

cooking

meat

or

poultry,

lightly

coat

with

butter

or

oil

and

season

with

salt,

pepper,

herbs,

or

other

seasoning.

Place

in

a

roasting

dish

and

use

a

rack

to

lift

the

meat

out

of

its

juices.

Place

dish

in

centre

of

oven.

•

Turn

meat

over

halfway

through

cooking.

•

Remove

meat

from

oven

once

cooked

and

stand

covered

in

foil

for

10-15

minutes

to

allow

the

meat

to

relax

and

juices

to

be

reabsorbed

which

ensures

the

roast

is

tender

and

moist.

•

If

the

roasted

meat

is

covered

with

foil,

(it

helps

to

keep

the

oven

clean),

always

uncover

for

the

last

half

an

hour

of

cooking

to

allow

browning.

Tips

for

grilling

Grilling

is

a

quick

and

healthy

way

of

cooking

meat,

fish,

vegetables

and

poultry.

•

Preheat

grill

first.

•

To

keep

the

grill

pan

clean,

line

with

a

silicone

baking

liner.

Do

not

line

with

aluminium

foil.

•

Most

foods

benefit

with

being

brushed

with

oil

before

cooking.

•

To

enhance

the

flavour

and

moistness

of

meat,

fish

or

poultry,

marinate

first

•

If

using

wooden

kebab

sticks,

soak

first

to

prevent

them

catching

on

fire.

•

Turn

food

halfway

through

cooking

to

ensure

it

is

evenly

browned.
