Understanding Oven Temperatures
Fan ovens and conventional ovens can behave differently; always watch the bake as well as the clock.
Things to remember
- Preheat before putting baked goods in the oven.
- Use the temperature type specified in the recipe.
- Check doneness early if your oven tends to run hot.
Put this into practice
Try these habits when following a home recipe. Pay close attention to what your ingredients look and feel like, and use the recipe’s timing as a guide rather than the only measure of success.
