towards the top of the oven and
slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishe s r equiring different
temperatures may be cooked at the
same time - eg; the temperature at the
oven base is suitable for cooking baked
vegetables, baked fruit, milk pudding,
etc, and for warming bread rolls, soup,
coffee, or ovenproof plates and dishes.
Baking guide - hints
To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
Cooking times for pastry dishes
depend on the size and type of
cooking dish and also the filling.
When co oking 2 trays of items,
remove the top item when it is cooked
and raise the lower item to the higher
shelf to finish cooking, or where
additional browning of the base is
required - eg; pies and pastries -
interchange part way through cooking.
