Oven-baking mummies, I have some questions to ask.
Scenario: if say baking chicken and recipe calls for "Bake 45mins at 190degrees - for a 1kg chicken". I just wondering:
1. If I baking a 1.3kg, or 1.5kg, then that means i have to increase the baking time to say 1hr or 1hr 15mins - right?
2. If I increase the oven temp to 200degrees (instead of 190degree), does it mean i can bake it a little shorter.. say 35mins instead of 45mins? Or if say, I decrease oven temp to 170degrees, does it mean i have to bake it a little longer than the required 45mins?
Actually my question is not just for baking chicken.. it's a generic question for baking anything.. is it - more heat equals less cooking time? Up to a certain point i mean.. of course, i wouldn't say go to 400degrees or what.. but if we increase the temp by a little, then can we short-cut the cooking time??
