- Second oven
These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes.
The recommended shelf positions give the best results.
Put the dishes centrally on the shelf and turn food around during the cooking time.
You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes.
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.
If you are using both ovens at the same time you may need to adjust the cooking times.
