Hotpoint RF725GP - Manual (Page 5)

●
Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t
put them in a dishwasher. Do
not self-clean the surface units
in the oven.
●
When flaming foods are
under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.
●
Foods for frying should be as
dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over sides of pan.
●
Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause
when food is
added.
●
If a combination of oils or fats
will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly,
●
Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
●
Use deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
Tips
Surface Cooking
●
Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
●
Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
●
Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
●
Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking eggs in the
shell, bring water and eggs to boil,
then turn to OFF position and
cover with lid to complete the
cooking.
●
Always turn surface unit off
before removing cookware.
Oven Cooking
●
Preheat oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find that preheating is
necessary, listen for the beep and
put food in oven promptly after the
oven is preheated.
●
Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
●
During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it is
opened.
●
Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.
●
Use residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.
