Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarines or butter only. Meringues Main Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with `Stayclean' liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan. Remove the meat pan if it is not being used. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the o o o o required temperature 80 C (176 F) and 230 C (450 F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator 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. Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is often unnecessary. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give crisp crackling. (f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the manufacturers pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by o approximately 25 C and the time by approximately 10 minutes per hour. (g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat. (h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation. Frozen Meat and Poultry Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5 - 6 hours per 450g, 1lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb). 22 Recipes For Fan Oven BEEF STEW AND DUMPLINGS 675g (11/2 lb) stewing steak, cut into 2. 5cm (1 in. cubes) 2 medium sized onions, peeled and quartered 225g (8oz) carrots, peeled and sliced 225g (8oz) swede, peeled and cubed 4 sticks of celery, cut into 2. 5cm (1 in. ) lengths 500ml (1 pint) beef stock, boiling 30ml (2 tbsp) tomato puree 5ml (1 tsp) mixed dried herbs Salt and pepper Dumplings: 100g (4oz) self raising flour Pinch of salt 50g (2oz) shredded suet 15ml (1 tbsp) chopped parsley Cold water to mix 1.
