Frozen meat and poultry should be thawedthoroughly before it is put in the oven.4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be adelay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should becooked as soon as possible.5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for exampleShepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delayperiod.6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delayperiod is kept to a minimum.7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry,joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so itis best to add these ingredients just before serving.9.

Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the lossof liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.6
