[. . . ] However food such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts on pages 16 and 17 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease tempo eratures 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. Additional shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier or Spares Centre. Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted. To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15" x 12") and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13" x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven. When three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts on pages 15 and 16 by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap at either side of the oven. Recipes in cookery books give times and temperatures for cooking in ordinary ovens. The introduction of improved thermal insulation on fan ovens makes it possible, in most cases, to reduce o o (a) the recommended temperature by 25 C (45 F) and (b) the recommended time by approximately 10 minutes per hour. Temperature and Time 19 Main Oven Cookery Notes To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your fan oven. (a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. (b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time. (c) Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1. 75kg (3 1 /2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices. (d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be 'larded' with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat. (e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer surface. [. . . ] Main oven works.
