HOw TO USE THE COOKER The Top Burners The hot-plate has been specially planned so that you can use every inch of the top for cooking. The simmering burner has been put over the grill so that when you are using the grill there is enough heat to cook food slowly on top as well, without lighting the simmering burner. A special interlocking tap makes it impossible to light both burners at once. ‘This idea saves the gas and prevents any waste. When you want to do very slow cooking, or when you are using an earthenware casserole, you can reverse the centre bar so that the solid part fits over the simmering burner and spreads the heat. The big burners are for quick boiling, and when they are being used the solid part of the side bars gives enough heat for warming up gravy or sauces or for keeping food hot. : The Grill Put the grilling pan in place and then light the gas. It speeds up the grilling if a kettle of water or a saucepan is put over the grill—this helps to deflect the heat down on to the meat. Leave the gas full on till the grill gets red-hot. This usually takes about 14 minutes. When you take out the grilling pan it is a good plan to put the cake tray in its place to protect the enamel from the heat. If you are not using the grill every day, the grill deflectors can be taken out and put back when wanted. This saves them from getting splashed with fat and makes less work when cleaning the cooker. The Oven First of all, turn the dial of the oven heat control to the number that corresponds to the recipe you are making. Arrange the shelves in the oven to suit the cooking, but remember that the lower half of the oven is cooler than the top half. This means that two dishes needing different temperatures can be pertectly well cooked at the same time. On p. 6 you will find some suggestions for menus that show you how to make full use of the oven in this way. 3 6 6 HOW TO USE THE COOKER After setting the dial, turn the tap full on and light the gas. Leave the oven to heat up for a quarter of an hour, then put in the food. The heat is automatically regulated by the oven control so the gas tap must not be touched after it has been turned on full. Leave a space on both sides of the tins and dishes in the oven - so that the heat can circulate all round them. When only one thing is being baked, a saucepan of vegetables or stewed fruit can be cooked in the oven at the same time, and this will save the gas you would have used for boiling them on the hot-plate. To take advantage of this, the cooking should be arranged so that as much as possible can be done in the oven at once.
