What else can I cook in the oven whilst....

I am making the Christmas cake today (yay!) but it takes 5 hours at 140 degrees....I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas as to what else I could use the oven for at the same time? It just seems a waste to have the oven on for that long and not use it for anything else but I can't think of much that goes in such a low oven!

I do a slow roasted pork or lamb joint at that temperature, brown it off first on the hob and then pop it in the oven for between 5 and 6 hours, you can cover it with foil if it is starting to get too well done on the outside and it comes out lovely and tender

Meringues?



Slice an orange and dry as tree decs?

Vegetable crisps? eg. http://www.riverford.co.uk/feed/in:recipes/baked-beetroot-crisps/

Bit late in the year but drying herbs?

I think meringues need an even lower temperature.

Thanks everyone!

I am allergic to eggs so no meringues here. Like the oranges idea!

Rice pudding? Or another of the milk-pudding family - tapioca, sago, that sort of thing?

most dried fruit and veg if you have any that are turning.
