Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray
350mm x 330mm
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Extra shelves may be ordered from the
Customer Care Centre.
You will see that there are differences
between the oven shelves for the top
oven and the main oven.
The top oven shelf helps to ensure
even baking in the top oven. It has a
rear deflector fitted to it, and is
not
intended for use in the main oven.
Baking guide hints
The gas mark settings and times given
in the top baking guides are based on
dishes made with block margarine. If tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary
to reduce the gas mark setting.
If a different gas mark setting to that shown
in our guide is given in a recipe, the
recipe instruction should be followed.
The cooking times given in the baking
guides are based on a preheated
oven. If you do not preheat the oven,
cooking times should be extended.
Slow cooking

Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry,
and for pot roasts preheat the oven to
gas mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes,
then adjust the oven control to the “S”
slow setting for the remainder of the
cooking time.
Slow cooking times will be about 3 t i m e s
as long as conventional cooking times.
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
during slow cooking, as this will result
in heat loss at low temperatures.
Always use dishes with tightly fitting
lids. To rectify badly fitting lids, place
foil over the dish underneath the lid.
