Good to know
- Fan ovens circulate hot air, so they cook faster: lower the temperature by about 20 °C or shorten the time.
- Most home ovens are off by 10–20 °C. An inexpensive oven thermometer tells you how yours really runs.
- Preheat for at least 15 minutes; baking stones and cast iron need 30–45 minutes.
