Electric cookers changed to Celsius about 30 years ago. Temperatures are roughly half those stated - though 4000 degrees would leave you with an incinerated nut roast anyway! 200c is what you want!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I got the recipe - shows it's over 30 years old. It's up to you if you want to update or vary. The extra o is actually a degree sign on the original which I copied and pasted, but I've changed it since you pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteI know you've used gas for years and I just thought the next generation might not realise the difference between F and C - and thought the extra 0 was a typing error!
