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 300°C, then back to
40°C, 100°C and 110°C etc.
Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use
roasting bags for joints.
