However, it doesn't seem to like coming out of DD2's 2 week old school jumper :mad: and I am left with something that feels like dark glue sticking bits together.

Roasting tin I can use on the hob.
Last year I bought a very good roasting tin and rack (prestige). It has a non-stick coating. It is fine for the oven but when using on the hob, to make gravy, the non stick has now started to come off. Can anyone recommend a tin for both uses.

Fan oven timings
I've just put my Christmas cake in the oven (bit late, I know!) and realise that I'm using a fan oven with a convection oven recipe. I've found a conversion chart for temperatures and turned it down to 120 but I have an idea that it will take less than the 4 1/2 hours in the recipe. Apologies for seeming scatty; I'm fine…
