· For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
ROASTING
For best results we recommend open roasting using
minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing.
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap
food in foil when roasting as this restricts the
circulation of heat and will lead to extended
cooktimes.
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken
breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 – 15
minutes for each 1/2kg (1Ib).
When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of
foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming
dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked.
