• oven temps given in Nigella's books

  I am cooking the turkey following your suggestions for pre-soaking (ref: Nigella's Christmas). Are the oven temps given for fan or conventional oven, and is fan preferable to conventional?

  Hi, I have two of Nigella's books, but I cannot seem to find anywhere whether the oven temperatures are for fan assisted ovens or conventional ovens. Can you help?
