Cover shelves with foil. The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarines or butter only. Meringues Main Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with `Creda clean' liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the o o o o required temperature 80 C (175 F) and 230 C (450 F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal. Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is often unnecessary. However food such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to o increase or decrease temperatures by 10 C Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i. e. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked. Oven Positions Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire ovens is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced. The Top Oven rod shelf can be used in the Main Oven when cooking large quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier or Spares Centre. [. . . ] Over loading of oven and always ensure even air gaps around baking tins. Ensure that the shelf is level (see above) and that the food is positioned centrally in the oven. Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is not larger than 12ins x 9ins, e. g. Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the oven.
