Cook’s notes
- Cooking times can sometimes vary depending on the type of dish used. If you are using a heavy-based, well-insulated dish, it can take a while to heat up and if the dish is too deep it can take longer to cook as the heat isn’t circulating as easily. We used a dish that was approximately 5cm in depth.
- Boiling water must be used to help start the cooking process and make sure the foil is tight when covering the dish as you don’t want any steam to escape.
