Hi Sharmi,
Great post. I have a question related to oven modes. I am using Morphy Richard OTG. It has upper heating rods and lower heating rods. When baking cookies and cake which option should we use?
1. Both the heating rods on (or)
2. Only lower heating rod is on.
I have this doubt for so long. Can you please help me?

these cook faster and even leaving a minute or 2 extra will mak the cookies burn.Keep in middle rack while baking.
