7.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer's taste.
We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
7.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
7.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven.
The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
