Baking

Tips on baking

See the Baking Chart and the Cookbook supplied with this oven for suggestions of temperatures, runner heights and times.

Place cakes in rectangular tins with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even results.

When baking cakes with fresh fruit toppings and tall sponge cakes place the tin in the grill pan to catch any spillages and keep the oven cleaner.

When baking anything with a high salt content (such as pretzels) they must be placed on baking parchment. High concentrations of salt can damage PerfectClean surfaces.

Frozen food

When baking deep frozen products such as cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging. Place such items on baking paper directly on the wire rack or in the pizza pan (extra accessory). Placing them on the baking tray or in the grill pan can cause the metal to distort. This distortion would increase with subsequent use.

Deep frozen foods such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the baking tray or in the grill pan. Place these types of frozen foods on baking parchment and select the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging.

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

–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.

The cooling fan will continue for a while after switching the oven off.

Always remove all accessories, trays and racks which are not being used when using the oven to get the best results and to keep cleaning of the trays to a minimum.
