    1. Thank you so much Neha….My oven is a simple one..The appliances in my apartment are little dated so I don think the oven is fan assisted..and nothing is written on it also..There are only two modes like simple bake and broil and I do all my baking in the baking mode only..
      Do try it out and let me know how you like it..
