Temperature may varies from oven to oven.If the dialer shows 400 degree but it may not the actual temperature in the oven.So you must use a timer for baking and check them by intervals.This will helps you to find actual time needed for your dish.Always preheat your oven in the required temperature as in your recipe.Never start baking in cold oven.
Time:
Most of the beginners have the same problem they cannot prepare their food on the correct time.The main problem is that they were not thinking the required ingredients are near to the stove.Before putting anything to the stove,take time to think about the time required for each item for the dining.If you want to cook 2 curries and rice,divide your time to each dishes or cook at a time in different stove.Initially you should chop all your vegetables and any others ,take spice powders needed for the dish that should be kept near stove.This will helps you to cook fast.
