BAKING IN THE OVEN - PRACTICAL
HINTS
Baking
•
We recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker;
•
It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should
be put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct
heat better and shorten the baking time;
•
Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when us-
ing the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins
can result in under-cooking the base of cakes;
•
When using the ultra-fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven
chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber be-
fore the cake is inserted;
•
Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick
(if the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted
into the cake);
•
After switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5
min.;
•
Temperatures for baking with the ultra-fan function are usually around 20 – 30
degrees lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters);
•
The baking parameters given in Table are approximate and can be corrected
based on your own experience and cooking preferences;
•
If information given in recipe books is significantly different from the values in-
cluded in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.
Roasting meat
•
Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked
on the gas burners.
•
Use heatproof oven-ware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to
high temperatures;
•
When roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a
baking tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven;
•
it is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and
during roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty
water – do not pour cold water over the meat.
ECO Heating
•
ECO Heating is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when
preparing food.
•
You cannot reduce the cooking time by setting a higher temperature; preheating
the oven is not recommended.
•
Do not change the temperature setting and do not open the oven door during
cooking.
