10. OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
Always preheat an empty
oven at the temperature
required for the food for 20
minutes before you start
cooking.
10.1 Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants
or quiche.
10.2 Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.3 Baking
• Use the lower temperature the first
time.
• You can extend baking times by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally.
There is no need to change the
temperature setting if an unequal
browning occurs. The differences
equalize during baking.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
