Baking
Do not use paper based containers coated with aluminium foil, such as are sometimes provided with packet cake mixes. There is the danger of these catching fire.
Switch on the microwave setting for the total cooking time. The microwave setting should not be higher than 150 W.
Tips on baking
Temperature settings, times and microwave power settings in the Baking Chart are suggestions only. Select an average temperature and time for first attempts and adapt accordingly.
Place cakes in rectangular tins with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even results.
Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for good health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc until they are golden brown. Do not allow them to become dark brown.
To achieve even results without over-browning the food . . .
. . . when baking cakes, pastries, deep frozen foods such as chips, croquettes, frozen pizza, baguettes etc.
–always select the lowest temperature given in the recipe/cooking instructions on the packaging.
Do not set a temperature higher than that recommended. Increasing the temperature may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results.
–Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest time quoted. To check if a cake is ready, insert a wooden skewer into the centre.
It is ready if the skewer comes out clean, without dough or crumbs sticking to it.
–Place chips, croquettes and similar types of food on baking parchment.
