Tables and tips
table contains a selection of dishes and the
optimum settings at which to cook them. You can find
out which type of heating and temperature is best for
your dish, which accessories to use, and at which
oven level the dish should be inserted. You will find a
variety of tips about ovenware and preparation, and a
small troubleshooting section in case anything should
go wrong.
If you are baking cakes on one level, you should use
top/bottom heating . This will give the best results
for your cakes.
It is best to use darkĆcoloured baking tins made of
metal. Baking times are increased when
lightĆcoloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass
dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly.
Place the cake tin on the wire rack.
The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a
cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking
times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have
preheated the oven.
The tables show which type of heating is best for
different cakes and bakes.
The temperature and cooking time you select depends
on the quantity and type of pastry. This is why ranges"
are given in the tables. You should try to use a lower
temperature setting to start with, since this allows more
even browning. If necessary, use a higher temperature
setting the next time.
More information can be found in the Baking tips"
section which follows the tables.
