Baking tips

Refer to the baking charts for suggestions of temperatures, shelf levels and cooking durations. These take into account a range of different baking tins, quantities and cooking traditions.

Handling and preparing food correctly is essential for maintaining good health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc until they are golden. Do not overcook them.

Bakeware

Please take into account the material of your bakeware in your choice of oven function:

Fan plus ￿, Intensive bake ￿

Any heat-resistant material can be used.

Conventional ￿

Dark metal, enamel or aluminium baking tins with a matt finish, as well as heat-resistant glass and ceramic dishes can be used.

Bright, shiny metal tins result in uneven or poor browning and in some cases cakes might not cook properly.

Baking parchment

Because of their PerfectClean anti-stick surface the baking tray and the universal tray do not need to be greased or lined with baking parchment for baking.

Baked goods are easily removed when done.

Baking parchment is only necessary when baking:

–Anything with a high salt content (e. g. pretzels, bread sticks), because sodium can damage the PerfectClean surface.

–Meringues or biscuits with a high egg-white content, because they are more likely to stick.

Universal tray

When baking cakes with fresh fruit toppings and deep sponge cakes place the tin in the universal tray to catch any spillages and keep the oven cleaner.

Retangular tins

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