General Guidelines
Standing time
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and
cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or
outside of the oven) after cook ing, to allow
heat to finish con ducting through the food.
•
Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in
aluminium foil.
•
Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped
in aluminium foil when cooked by
microwave only. It is not necessary to
stand jacket potatoes cooked in
COMBINATION mode.
•
Light Cakes – Stand 5 mins. before
removing from dish.
•
Rich Dense Cakes – Stand 15-20 mins.
•
Fish – Stand 2-3 mins.
•
Egg Dishes – Stand 1-2 mins.
•
Precooked Convenience Foods – Stand
for 2-3 mins.
•
Plated Meals – Stand for 2-3 mins.
•
Vegetables – Boiled potatoes benefit from
standing 1-2 mins., however most other
types of vegetables can be served
immediately.
If food is not cooked after STANDING
TIME, return to oven and cook for
additional time.
•
Defrosting – It is essential to allow
standing time to com plete the process.
This can vary for example from 5 mins for
raspberries and up to 1 hour for a joint of
meat. See page 35-37.
