The temperatures will vary from the above figures by as much as 20
°
C hotter at the top of the oven and
30
°
C cooler towards the bottom of the oven. But remember these are temperatures in an empty oven.
To cook identical products on two shelves, select two shelf positions with a sufficient gap between them
to allow air movement in the oven. For example, cooking small cakes or pastry use shelf positions 2 & 5,
counting from the top of the oven. Allow the food to cook for just over half the normal time and then
change the position of the shelves.
As an alternative leave the food on the upper shelf until it is cooked, then move the food from the lower
shelf to the upper shelf, or leave on the lower shelf until cooked.
Cooking identical foods on three different shelves is seldom satisfactory and is not recommended, but
the “cool zone” at the oven bottom can be sometimes used for slow casseroles, whilst general and
specialised cooking is carried out on the two shelves.
The following cooking chart is for guidance on thermostat settings. Make a note of the settings you find
most acceptable.
