The hotplate Gas hotplates have always been known and favored for their speed, irreconcilability and ease of use, All burners are very easily adjusted between the small {minimum setting) and large {maximum setting) flames as indicated on the control knobs. A wide variety of foods can be cooked on the hotplate, and because a gas hotplate burner is so responsive the heat can be adjusted instantly. There is no need to slide pans across the hotplate, simply turn the burner off once cooking is completed.
If more than one tray of similar items e.g, biscuits or sponges are baked together, the trays should be interchanged during cooking, or the top tray should be removed when cocked and the Sower tray moved to the higher half to finish cooking. Pr-heating Pr-heating is unnecessary, this of course makes cooking in a gas oven very economical. The exception to the ‘no per-heat’ rule is when cooking sensitive foods such as souffles, Yorkshire pudding and yeast mixtures when a 20 minute per-heat is adequate.
Notes {nuder certain conditions condensation may form on the cooker. Condensation is quite normal and forms when moisture and heat is present, e.g. during cooking. A boiling kettle produces steam and when ood gets to cooking temperature steam is also produced which condenses on 1o the cooler surfaces, It is not necessarily caused by extremes of temperature but as a result of one or more of the following:1. The cooking temperatures. 2. Temperature of the food when placed in the oven. 3.
