Oven spring was good even though I forgot to close the chimney.

They got a bit stuck together so will need to plan better on the peel next time.

Tricky to get a bit of colour with an open flame but overall great success.

It doesn’t seem worth it to do just one at a time, but it’s also very tricky to shuffle around with two in there.

Thermometer says they are way past cooked, but feel a bit soft to me. Will see in two hours I guess.

Where do you live and should I bring salted or unsalted butter?

If you delay the second one going in by 15-20 min it should make things easier to shuffle around.

Yeah but I can’t do that since I’m using residual heat.

So they go in at peak temperature and the gas goes off and the door goes on, then add water to the steamer (and remember to close the chimney).

Therefore it’s either both at once or the entire process one after the other.

But it was fine in the end, just took some learning and will put them on the edges of peel next time so they don’t touch and connect each other upon rising.

Ah OK, like you say it worked fine so just a matter of some small tweaks to make things easier.
 
I put the oven rack a bit low so it came out quite light.
