Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting in the oven and when cooking on the hob, and how to
dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy with your oven
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in
■
the operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
■
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while
■
cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other.
■
The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each
other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
■
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Saving energy with the hob
Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for your
■
food. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
The gas flame must always be in contact with the base of the
■
saucepan.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
