Baking trays and dishes

Never place cooking dishes, trays and
so on over the oven burners. This will
damage the cooker as well as the
cookware and possibly the floor
covering underneath the cooker.
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all
dishes and the sides of the oven so the
heat can circulate properly.
Do not push dishes too far back as
food will burn if it overhangs the
burner flames.
For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is
310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this,
you may need to turn it around during cooking.
the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn large items around during
cooking.
Roasting
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to
prevent splashing.
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended
cooktimes.
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).
When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be
required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is
fully cooked.
Condensation
Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing
to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are
present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make
sure that food which contains a lot of moisture for example casseroles
are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight
away.
