20Hints and tips• Arrange the shelves in the requiredpositions before switching the oven on.Shelf positions are counted from thebottom upwards.• There should always be at least 2.5cm(1”) between the top of the food and theelement. This gives best cookingresults and allows room for rise in yeastmixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc.When cooking cakes, pastry, scones,bread, etc., place the tins or bakingtrays centrally on the shelf.• Ensure that food is placed centrally onthe shelf and there is sufficient roomaround the baking tray/dish to allow formaximum circulation.• Stand dishes on a suitably sized bakingtray on the shelf to prevent spillage ontothe oven base and to help reducecleaning.• The material and finish of the bakingtray and dishes used affect basebrowning. Enamelware, dark, heavy ornon-stick utensils increase basebrowning. Shiny aluminium or polishedsteel trays reflect the heat away andgive less base browning.• Because of the smaller cooking space,lower temperatures and shorter cookingtimes are sometimes required.• Do not place dishes directly onto theoven base as it becomes very hot anddamage may occur.• For economy leave the door open forthe shortest possible time, particularlywhen placing food into a pre-heatedoven.Do not place cookware and cookingpots with rough bases e.g. cast ironon the oven door as damage to theglass may occur.
