Fan assisted oven
6 Answers
Just moved into a house with a fan assisted oven.
Problem is it burns everything to a cinder, i cant seem to find a rule for adjusting times. Does anyone have any good tips on reducing cooking times or oven temperature, and which of the two is the better?

I use the fan to heat the oven up quicker but put off for any cooking. Otherwise I think you just reduce the cooking temp by about 20 degrees if if recipe 220 do 200 - also reduce the cooking time but difficult to say by how long. If was pizza say only cook for 8 minutes but maybe need to check a recipe if was for something that takes for example 1hour - often you may fine the times noted.
Hi
Also just moved into a place with a fan oven. Luckily the guide book has most things listed, but as a general rule 10-20 degrees less AND about ten mins per hour of cooking should help. Most things don't need pre-heating either unless doing things that rise (ie. yorkies/cakes etc). If you want times/temps for anything specific post back and I'll see what I can do.

No probs.
Have to disagree with halving the temperature, imagine tucking into a nice rare chicken! Just found this:

Bit of trial and error I guess - is there something you cook regularly that you'd know how it is going throughout so you get a feel for it? Roast potatoes for example.
