Cooking frozen & chilled foods
● Preheat the oven.
● When cooking frozen or chilled foods,
please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If cooking more than
one tray or item, cooking times
may need to be increased.
● Please ensure that foods are
piping hot before consumption.
● Always
use the temperature
setting stated on food packaging
when cooking convenience food.
● Never overload the tray - eg; oven
chips should be placed onto the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
● Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are
only intended as a guide and do
not take individual preferences
into account.
● Always cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer
unless packaging advises otherwise.
Slow cooking
● Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly
THAWED before cooking.
● Do not slow cook joints of meat
or poultry weighing more than
2
1
⁄4 kg / 4
1
⁄2lb.
● For roasting joints of meat or
poultry and for pot roasts preheat
the oven to Gas Mark 6 and cook
for 30 minutes, then adjust the
oven control to ‘S’ slow cook
setting for the remainder of the
cooking time.
● Always use the top half of the oven
when slow cooking.
● Slow cooking times will be about
three times as long as conventional
cooking times.
Baking guide - hints
To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
Cooking times for pastry dishes
depend on the size and type of
cooking dish and also the filling.
When cooking 2 trays of items,
remove the top item when it is cooked
and raise the lower item to the higher
shelf to finish cooking, or where
additional browning of the base is
required - eg; pies and pastries -
interchange part way through cooking.
