Baking

Frozen food

When baking deep frozen products such as chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging.

Cook frozen desserts, pizza or baguettes on baking parchment on the rack. Cooking large frozen items on the baking tray or the universal tray can cause the metal to distort.

Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the universal tray. Place them on baking parchment and turn several times during cooking.

Shelf level

When baking cakes with a moist topping only bake on one level.

Bake on a maximum of two shelf levels at the same time.

If you are baking on two shelf levels at the same time, use levels 1 and 2.

Notes about the chart

Select the lowest temperature given in the chart.

Do not select a higher temperature than that advised. Increasing the temperature may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results.

At the end of the shorter time given, check to see whether the cake etc. is done. Insert a metal or wooden skewer into the centre. If it comes out clean, without dough or crumbs sticking to it, the cake is ready.
