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.
•Defrosting – It is essential to allow
standing time to com plete the process.
This can vary from 5 mins. e.g.
raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of
meat.
If food is not cooked after STANDING
TIME, return to oven and cook for
additional time.
