1213730 2011-07-01 08:10:00 I always thought with a fan oven, at 200 you drop it to 190 and cook for ten minutes less.

20 degrees less, but it probably doesn't matter that much, me - I go by how it's doing, can easily adjust up or down as required during the cooking process.

1213731 2011-07-01 22:07:00 Ive used a normal oven all my life till i moved in this rental. It has a fan oven and it is sh1t. Fan only cooking. It is a very restrictive oven but as there is no griller that part is in the top in a separate compartment. More modern fan ovens are probably ok Gobe1 (6290)

It would only be at least a 20degree variance if you did not reduce the cook time also.

Cook time does not equate to an additional 20 degrees temperature when you switch the fan on......................

You always reduce the cook time as well as the temperature.

What do you mean no griller?

Mine has several settings.

Bake, Fan Bake, Grill, Fan Grill, Maxi grill (whatever the difference is) etc.

Mostly I use grill or fan bake. Haven't got the book so don't entirely know what is supposed to be used for what.

Where on earth do you get that from?

I have yet to see a cooker here in NZ with a proper grill

From the book when I bought a thermo wave oven years ago.
