sponges, otherwise preheating is not necessary, as a fan oven warms up quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator neon switches off for the first time; this will take between 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the temperature selected.

Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even browning, the maximum size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm This size of baking tray will hold up to
16 small cakes. |
|
Roasting tin | 370mm x 320mm |
We recommend that you use good quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen and chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked

❍ | Allow enough space between shelves |
| for food that will rise during cooking. |
❍ | Do not place items on the oven |
| base as this will prevent air from |
| circulating freely. |
Slow cooking
Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 21⁄4kg / 41⁄2lb.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry and for pot roasts, preheat the oven to 190˚C - 200˚C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to 110˚C - 120˚C for the remainder of the cooking time.
Slow cooking times will be about three times as long as conventional cooking times.
