Tables and tips
| This table contains a selection of dishes and the |
| optimum settings at which to cook them. You can |
| find out which type of heating and temperature is |
| best for your dish, which accessories to use, and at |
| which oven level the dish should be inserted. You will |
| find a variety of tips about ovenware and |
| preparation, and a small troubleshooting section in |
| case anything should go wrong. |

Cakes and pastries |
|
Baking tins | It is best to use dark baking tins. You should use |
| |
| containers. This means, however, that the baking |
| time is increased and the cake does not brown so |
| evenly. |
| Always place the cake tin on the wire rack. |
Tables | The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a |
| cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking |
| times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have |
| preheated the oven. |
| The tables show which type of heating is best for |
| different cakes and bakes. |
| The temperature and cooking time you select |
| depends on the quantity and type of pastry. This is |
| why „ranges“ are given in the tables. You should try |
| to use a lower temperature setting to start with, |
| since this allows more even browning. If necessary, |
| use a higher temperature setting the next time. |
| More information can be found in the „Baking tips“ |
| section which follows the tables. |
