Fan oven issues

Asked on 14 Feb 2017 by Annette Robson

I have just got a new electric fan oven, having been used to gas, and find I am having difficulty cooking small joints of meat. They do not brown well.
Would I be better to use top and bottom heat, or circotherm? And at what temperature?
Also, can I continue to use my earthenware cook dishes, or would I be advised to get new metal ones?

Hello,

Using top and bottom heat should give you the results that you were more familiar with when you were using your old gas oven.

We do not test Delia’s recipes in fan ovens so unfortunately we’re not able to offer any advice on how to get the best results when using your fan oven.

Kind regards
