Automatic Time-Controlled Meals

It is possible to obtain surprisingly good results by placing food in an oven and leaving the auto-controls to switch the oven on and off. Generally speaking, dishes which require approximately the same temperature and the same length of time to cook are suitable. For example, when planning a breakfast menu which will include any or all of the following: bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, kippers (whole or filleted), porridge (made from the quick-type rolled oats), the bacon should be rolled so that it will be cooked ready for serving with the other dishes. Alternatively, the bacon could be rolled around the chipolata sausages. The kippers and porridge should be placed in dishes with lids or covered well with aluminium foil.
