USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC
Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven.
These cooking times are approximate,
because the size and type of cooking
preferences.
Shelf positions
As a general guide, when cooking frozen
or chilled food, use the highest possible
shelf position, while allowing some
clearance between the food and the top
element. Follow the instructions given on
packaging.
Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time given
in the Baking Guides are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary
to reduce the temperature setting. If
a recipe gives a different temperature
setting to that shown in the guide, the
recipe instruction should be followed.
Because the top oven is more compact,
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
to 20°C.
Use the baking guide as a reference for
determining which temperatures to use.
