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.
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after
cooking or defrosting.
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of
cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more
cooking than food at room temperature.
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.
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.
Good quality ingredients should be used for
microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are recommended
for casserole.
Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when
serving to babies, children or the elderly. 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.
