Look at the oven from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven. Kitchen paper. FOOD HANDLING AND PREPARATION Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back 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. Initial and final temperature of food The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. 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. Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns. Composition & quality Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding or mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Economical cuts of meat are recommended for casserole. 19 R-254M O/M + CkBk 13/3/01 11:13 am Page 20 Website: http://www. sharp. co. uk/support Help Line: 08705 274277 (office hours) FOOD HANDLING AND PREPARATION Piercing Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish, chicken), or with membrane (such as the white and yolk of eggs, including boiled eggs), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating.
