Hints and Tips
There should always be at least 2.5cm
between the top of the food and the
element. This gives the best cooking results
and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings, etc. When cooking
cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc., place the
tins or baking trays centrally below element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
