  • Page 14 D D O 6 1 G A Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food.
  • Page 15 D D O 6 1 G A Roasting For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil t prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil whe roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extende cooktimes.
