personally i cook at the normal-oven temperature, but set the timer 20% shorter to check. things like chips.. i find there's no difference. things like cakes seem to cook faster.

30 degrees cooler..? that sounds like madness to me. especially for things like pizza/chips - if they don't get that hot, they don't seem to crisp/cook at all.

our fan oven seems to be hottest at the front - a quite marked difference front-to-back, and the bottom's also cooler.. but i guess it's just not as great as if it had no fan.

i always pre-heat the oven. i can't see any reason why just because it has a fan, food will magically start cooking when the oven is at room temp. it still takes 5 minutes to get hot.


bottom line - nothing will be exactly as any manual or food package says. so until you know how long something takes, i'd not presume, and check it early/often.
