But I read this on the Internet, so can't say I trust it 100%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640847 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:46:01 +0000 heartonastring 640847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I've had both gas and electric and the element wax always on the bottom. The broiler is on the top. Sounds like yours is different? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640827 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:39:55 +0000 pui 640827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put the veggies on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640818 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:38:46 +0000 mrbee 640818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: Ah do you have an electric stove? I've read that those are usually hottest on the bottom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640751 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:22:52 +0000 heartonastring 640751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bottom of the oven is usually the hottest, as that's where the element is :) The top is only the hottest if you're using the broiler. Thus, I would cook the meat on the bottom, veggies on the top, and potentially switch them part way through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640736 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:19:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 640736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Awwww! I actually think it's a great suggestion, i.e., broiling the veggies off at the end if they are not done. I am sure this will come in handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640711 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:14:43 +0000 mrbee 640711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Haha yup.

It's more important that the meat cooks properly.<br /> It's easier to fix the veggies later (I sometimes broil veggies at the end if they need a little extra on the outside but are already cooked through).</p> <p>Edit: Hmm, no one agrees with me. lol<br /> Maybe you should listen to them - I don't cook meat! I'm just thinking that if the veggies are undercooked it's easy to fix them, but meat needs to be cooked right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-cooking-a-meat-and-a-veggie-dish-in-the-oven#post-640683 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:10:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 640683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meat bottom!

The meat on the top, since it's hotter there? Or the veggies, since that has to cook for longer anyway.</p> <p>This is a time-sensitive question ha. </p>
