    Hi all,

    This may sound a little odd, but is it possible to disable the fan in a fan oven? The fan makes it most difficult to bake and keeps drying cakes out.

    The oven in question is a Belling, which we bought from Comet.

    Thanks for any help,

    Luc

    If you disable the fan, the element will overheat and fail within minutes……….

    Next oven you get, go for the “Multifunction” type, which would include “static heat” elements under the oven floor and in the oven roof – much more suitable for your requirements.

    Hi

    Are you sure that you are cooking at fan oven temperatures.
    and not conventional oven temperatures
    with a fan oven the temperature and time is less
    if you cook at conventional temperatures in a fan oven most things come out burnt
    My wifes cousin cooks 8 sponge cakes at a time in a fan oven and has no poblems at all

    Thanks for that guys.

    I think when we move house, the oven will have to stay behind! Until then, we’ll just have to cook 8 chocolate cakes at a time…it’s a hard life, isn’t it!
