Main oven cooking chart
The temperature and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of
the various ingredients and the number, type and size of baking trays or tins used. It may be
necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suite individual preference or requirements.
For best results, moist recipes (for example pizza, fruitflans etc) should be baked on one level. To
ensure optimal performance when cooking convienience food, fizza or frozen and chilled ready
meals, always preheat the oven first.
