A piece of spaghetti will suffice. ( dried, obviously).

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't quite clear. What position should THE shelf be in. I can just about get both tins on IT.

In the middle of the oven.

a strand of spaghetti (the dried sort not the alphabet or hoop stuff:p ). Possibly a cocktail stick but depends on how high your cake is when comes out of oven.

I have to say these threads remind me of when I was dating Mr S and he could cook a curry with all the spices from scratch but used to ring me to ask how do I cook an omelette or a jacket potato :rolleyes:

I can cook a jacket potato! :j You turn the oven on to 225, put the spud in after stabbing it a few times with a fork, and come back in about an hour and twenty. It's best if you can remember to turn it round about half-way through. Mmmmm.

I've had a go at a chick-pea curry, but need to learn a real one with meat in. :think: Maybe next thread....;)
