7BAKING OVENWHEN USING ALL OF THE OVENS AND HOTPLATES TOGETHER FOR A LONG PERIOD OFTIME i.e. full meal.In the above case, the Baking Oven temperature may rise, it will therefore be necessary to adjustthe cooking procedure, the following suggestions may prove useful:1. When placing the food in the Baking Oven, ensure that the cold Plain Shelf is set directlyabove the dish, for the whole of the cooking time.2. In addition it may be necessary to lower the shelf position.3. When baking food, such as very rich fruit cakes, which require a long period of cookingtime, place the cake on the fourth grid shelf position of the oven with the cold plain shelfset directly above, for 3/4 hour approximately. Move the plain shelf to the middle of theSimmering Oven. Transfer the cake to this shelf and bake until cooked through.4. Alternatively, allow the Baking Oven to cool for approximately 4 hours before using.NOTE: A loose metal perforated plate is positioned in the top of the Baking Oven in orderto optimise cooking performance. It must remain in place at all times while the cooker isin operation.Top - grilling2nd runner - scones, small pastries;3rd runner - bread rolls, Yorkshirepudding;4th runner - roasts, poultry, small cakes incases in the large meat tin.Grid shelf on oven floor - loaves.Oven floor - shallow frying, quiche.GRILLINGSCONESPASTRIESBREADYORKSHIRE PUDDINGROASTSSHALLOW FRYINGFor casseroles, stock, milk puddings,bring to heat elsewhere on the AGA thentransfer to Simmering Oven.
