Step 1: Preheat the oven?

Unlike an ordinary oven, your fan oven does not always need preheating. If you preheat, you risk overcooking.

DO NOT preheat for any meat or poultry.

DO NOT preheat for cakes or pastry.

DO preheat for bread, scones and Yorkshire puddings.

I've never heard of a convection oven - is it a US term? - but apparently they are the same thing, yes:

I've never heard of a "fan oven" - is that another name for a convection oven?
