Something I’ve learnt over time is that no two ovens are the same.
During my working life as a cook I have used many differing ovens and ranges – Large, Small, Domestic, Commercial, Gas, Electric, Aga and the rest.
Recipes can only provide indicative temperatures and cooking times, the cook must be flexible in applying these to their own environment.
This is a major reason why many new cooks suffer disasters; be prepared to test and try, then test and try again!
When I was demonstrating and asked to give definitive times and temperatures my advice was always to be prepared to be flexible and to use your own judgement; even experienced cooks get things wrong, that’s how they learn!
So be comfortable with experimenting when you’re getting to know your oven.
Hope this helps. Bye for now!
