- Baking on one level
- Baking on two or more levels
- Use : 3D hot air.
- Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
- The tables show numerous suggestions for your dishes.
- If you have 2 small, round cake tins, place them on one level next to each other on the wire rack.
- If you have 4 small, round cake tins, place 2 next to each other on each wire rack. Slide in the wire racks one above the other.
- If you are baking with 3 loaf tins at the same time, place these on the wire racks as indicated in the picture.
- Use : 3D hot air.
- Baking tins
- It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
- Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly.
- If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
- It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
- Tables
- Baking tips
- Meat, poultry, fish
- Ovenware
- The universal pan with insert wire rack is suitable for large roasts. You may also use any heat-resistant ovenware.
- 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.
- 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.
- The universal pan with insert wire rack is suitable for large roasts. You may also use any heat-resistant ovenware.
- Roasting
- The information in the table applies to food placed in a cold oven and for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.
- The joints of meat should weigh between 500 g and 2 kg.
- Ensure that you always use the lower temperature, if the weight of the joint you wish to roast is high.
- If there are several pieces of meat, calculate the roasting time using the weight of the heaviest piece of meat. The individual pieces of meat should be approximately the same size.
- The information in the table applies to food placed in a cold oven and for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.
- Meat
- When using the % Top/bottom heating and 4 Circulated air grilling types of heating, turn the pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
- When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.
- When roasting joints of pork with a rind, make cuts in the rind crossways and if it is to be turned, first place the joint with the rind side down in the dish.
- When using the % Top/bottom heating and 4 Circulated air grilling types of heating, turn the pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
- Grilling
- When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 3 minutes, before putting the food in.
- Always grill with the oven door closed.
- As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal thickness. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
- Turn grilled items after the specified time.
- Whole fish does not need to be turned. Place the whole fish in the oven in the swimming position with the dorsal fin pointing upwards. Placing a scored potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.
- Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
- 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 underneath. To prevent a high degree of smoke from forming, do not insert the pan higher than level 3. The meat juices are collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
- Do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4 or 5. The high heat distorts it and the cooking compartment can be damaged when removing it.
- When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 3 minutes, before putting the food in.
- Tips for roasting and grilling
- Preprepared products
- Observe the instructions on the packaging.
- If you line the accessories with greaseproof paper, make sure that the paper is suitable for these temperatures. Make sure the paper is a suitable size for the dish to be cooked.
- The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and unevenness can sometimes even be found on the raw product.
- Leave a little space between bread rolls when crisping them up. Do not place too many bread rolls on the accessories.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of your lasagne to give it a beautiful and evenly browned finish.
- Observe the instructions on the packaging.
