6. ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
•
•It is better to use dark baking moulds, preferably enamelled in black, as these materials absorb heat particularly well.
•If you wish to bake a batch of several cakes, you should do so one after the other. As the oven is already hot, the baking times of second and subsequent cakes are shorter. You can also prepare two cakes simultaneously by placing rectangular moulds side by side.
•If using the oven continuously for a long time, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the time indicated and take advantage of the residual heat to finish preparing the food.
•If your oven includes the “Gentle Grill” function, use it to prepare small amounts of grilled food, placing the food in the central part of the tray or grille.
