For best results always place food in a preheated oven.
Donʼt forget that for ease of programming of the most commonly used temperatures, your oven
will start at 150°C and count up in 10°C stages to 250°C, then back to down to 100°C then 40°C.
Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use roasting
bags for joints.
