Using the Oven

The oven is fitted with 'Stay clean' liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the

control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 80˚C (170˚F) and

230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately

come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will

then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the

correct temperature.

It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff

of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a

perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts on pages 13 and

14.

Oven Cookery Notes

The Charts on pages 13 and 14 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures

and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or

decrease temperatures by 10˚C.

TO PREPARE MEAT FOR ROASTING IN YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN

Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue, etc., and weigh it.

Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator, should be allowed to come to room

temperature for approximately 30 minutes before cooking, and similarly meat stored in a

freezer must be completely thawed beforehand.

Beef, lamb and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have the rind scored,

brushed over lightly with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt – this gives crisp crackling.

Place joint in meat pan (small joints weighing less than 1.5kg (3lbs) should be roasted in a

smaller pan/meat tin, or they may be 'pot roasted' – a small joint in a large meat pan

causes unnecessary

oven splashing).

Additional fat should not be used, except for veal, very lean meat, poultry, which can either

be 'larded' with fat bacon, or brushed over very sparingly with melted fat/cooking oil.

When potatoes are to be roasted round the joint, they only require to be coated in melted

fat/cooking oil. It is not necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric oven, and

liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.

IMPORTANT Basic principles of food handling and hygiene must be followed to

prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
