Note: If soft tub margarine is used for cake making, we would recommend using the all in one method and to reduce
the temperature by 10ºC.
Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarine or butter only.
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat
thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooker period. The
meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.
