How do I calculate oven timing for multiple dishes?
+
1. Duration: Note the cook time for each dish from your recipe.
2. Serving Time: When do you want to eat?
3. Calculation: Use the tool for each dish to get unique start times. Don't forget to account for resting time for meats!
Should I include preheating and resting time?
+
Resting: For roasts and turkeys, set your 'Finish At' time 15-30 mins earlier than serving time.
Preheating: Always start preheating your oven 10-15 mins before your calculated start time to ensure it is at the correct temperature when food goes in.
