TEMPERATURE AND TIME FOR TYPICAL FOODS ( baking and roasting)

The suggested temperature and times will vary depending on the temperature of the food placed in the oven, the quantity and personal preference. Times given for meat and poultry are for refrigerator temperature. Add five minutes for preheating the oven. In order to avoid overcooking when using for the first time we suggest you to set a low temperature. As you use the oven, the best settings will become familiar.
