General advice
When choosing the oven position, make sure you are counting from the
bottom.
Insert the tray with the bevelled edge towards you.
Always place baking tins at the centre of the grill.
With fan-assisted circulation or Top/Bottom ¡ heat, you can bake two
tins beside each other at the same time. The baking time becomes only
slightly longer.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking.
This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing tem-
perature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the
distortion will disappear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables show a selection of dishes, with recommended temperature set-
tings, cooking times, and oven positions.
Temperatures and baking times are given for guidance only, to be adapted
according to the particular combination of pastry, quantity, and baking
tin(s).
To begin with, we recommend setting to the lower temperature, and then
adjusting to suit individual requirements, for example, a higher tempera-
ture can be set if a darker brown is desired, or if baking time is found to be
too long.
The tables do not give recipes for the cakes or pastries described; for rec-
ipe details, please refer to the recipe for a similar item.
Times may increase by 10-15 minutes for cakes baked on trays or tins at
different oven positions.
Moist cakes and pastries (for example, pizzas, fruit cakes, etc.) can be
baked on one level only.
Widely different baking items may show different initial rates of browning
while baking. In this case, please do not change the temperature set-
ting. Rates of browning will even out later in the baking process.
2 With longer baking times, the oven can be turned off about 10 minutes be-
fore the end of the required time, to make use of the residual heat in the ov-
en.
Unless otherwise stated, the temperatures indicated are those to which the
oven is pre-heated.
