    I have a fan oven and the printed recipe says fan 170. The online recipe says 200 (doesn't say if fan forced or not). So it wasn't that I can't cook, it's that the printed recipe is most likely wrong.

    The online recipe is referring to conventional fan temp.

    The recipes do not differ at all.

    That is what I've been trying to explain about oven temps/settings

    What does the 190 refer to then in the printed recipe? I read that as 190 for non-forced fan oven and 170 for fan oven. When I made it, I only had the printed recipe. I only found the online one when I started this post.

    190/200 are both non fan temps. 170 is a bit over zealous for gas 5 (160) but you did nothing wrong by setting fan to 170. How many fillets were you cooking or was there other stuff in the oven at the time as the more stuff there is in the oven the longer it can take.

    There was only one fillet in, and a few potato crocquettes, so the oven was hardly full. If i had only seen the online recipe I would have cooked it at 200c fan. It would never cross my mind that that wasn't the fan temp.

    That's why knowing the equivalents for gas is useful as that is always reliable (ish)

    I think we can chalk this one up to a confusing recipe :).

    A thermometer is a good idea, but I've always had a hard time getting a read from small cuts of meat. A digital one is definitely the best one to get.

    Not confusing at all really.

    Indeed we are. Let's leave it at that before just desserts need to be served.
    Further constructive advice is fine. Mickey-taking is not.

    PS - Better luck next time Mel.b. :)

    It wasn't wobbly anyway! But definitely pink. Any recommendations for a good thermometer?!!
    The poster also asked if it was solid looking and then pink. If chicken is undercooked if you cut it the outside layer should be cooked with a raw middle inside.

    Like this

    Also did you have a lid on the cooking dish? You should not have one as it will insulate the meat when it goes into the oven at first.
