For best results always place food in a preheated oven.
Don’t forget that for ease of programming of the most commonly used temperatures, your oven
will start at 150 °C and count up in 10 °C stages to 230 °C, then back to down to 40 °C then
100 °C. Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use
roasting bags for joints.
