S I G 5 5 3 For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you 1 are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it wh

S I G 5 5 3 Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly. 6 A pressur

S I G 5 5 3 The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven.

S I G 5 5 3 Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front

S I G 5 5 3 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 (1lb). When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the brea
