For best results always place food in a preheated oven.
Don’t 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 220 °C, then back to down to 40 °C then
100 °C. Food is generally cooked uncovered - unless it is stated in the instructions or recipe.
