Baking tips

You wish to bake according to your own
recipe.
How to tell whether sponge cake is
baked through:
The cake collapses.
The cake has risen in the middle but is
lower around the edge.
The cake goes too dark on top.
The cake is too dry.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake)
looks good, but is soggy on the inside
(sticky, with streaks of water).
The pastries are not evenly browned.
The bottom of a fruit cake is too light.
The fruit juice overflows.
The pieces of dough are sticking
together when the yeast rolls are baked.
You want to bake on two levels:
Condensation forms when you bake
moist cakes.

Ovenware
You may use any heat­resistant ovenware. The universal pan is
suitable for large roasts.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable. Ensure that the lid of the
roasting dish fits well and closes properly.
Add a little more liquid when using enamelled roasting dishes.
With roasting dishes made of stainless steel, browning is not so
intense and the meat may be somewhat less well cooked.
Increase the cooking times.
Information in the tables:
Ovenware without a lid = open
Ovenware with a lid = closed
Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass
could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.
Roasting
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid.
Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the
material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an
enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if
cooked in glass ovenware.
Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The
meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher
temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Approx. 10 minutes before the end of the baking time stated in the recipe, insert a cock-
tail stick into the cake at its deepest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake
is ready.
Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the
specified mixing times in the recipe.
Do not grease the edge of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake care-
fully with a knife.
Place the cake lower in the oven and bake at a lower temperature for slightly longer.
Make tiny holes in the finished cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an
alcoholic drink over it. Next time, set the temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the
baking time.
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. For
cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Cover the base with almonds or bread-
crumbs first and then apply the topping. Take care to follow recipes and baking times.
Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Bake
delicate pastries on one level using
paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always trim greaseproof paper to fit
the baking tray.
Place the cake one level lower the next time.
Next time, use the deeper universal pan (if available).
There must be a distance of about 2 cm between the bread rolls. This gives enough
space for the bread rolls to expand and bake evenly on all sides.
Always use " Hot air to bake on more than one level. Dishes that are put in the oven at
the same time do not have to be ready at the same time.
Steam can form during baking, which escapes via the door. The steam may settle and
form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a natu-
ral process.

Tips for grilling
Always grill with the oven door closed.
Heat the grill for approximately 3 minutes before placing the
food to be grilled on the wire rack.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are
grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing
it in the centre of the wire rack. The universal pan should also
be inserted at level 1. The meat juices are collected in the pan,
keeping the oven cleaner.
Do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4. They
may become deformed at high temperatures and damage the
cooking compartment when they are removed.
If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. This will
allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled.
Turn grilled items after

The grill element switches on and off intermittently. This is
normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
