Turn it on to medium heat and allow to steam for about five to 10 minutes while standing, so all the vinegar evaporates. Fill the chamber with fresh water and turn the iron on again to flush through traces of mineral deposits and vinegar. Wipe the underside of the iron and steam vents with a paper towel. 2. How to roast a chicken and make gravy
Rub the chicken with oil or softened butter and season well. Place in a roasting tray and put into an oven preheated to 190c/gas 5, with the legs pointing towards the rear of the oven. Roast for about 60-90 mins depending on the weight of the bird or until the juices run clear. For gravy, add vegetables, such as halved onions, carrots and unpeeled garlic, to the roasting tin.
