Using the Main Oven

Main oven baking guide

The cooking times given below are only approximate, because the size and type of cooking dish will influence cooking times, as will personal preference.

The times given in the following guide are based on a preheated oven. If the oven is not preheated you may need to extend the cooking time.

Because a fan oven has an even temperature throughout the oven, no shelf positions have been given, and there is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking as with a conventional oven.
