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.
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.
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.

You wish to bake according to your own
recipe.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
How to establish whether sponge cake
is baked through.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, stick
a cocktail stick into the cake at the highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean,
the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the
specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is
lower around the edge.
Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake care-
fully with a knife.
The cake goes too dark on top. Place it lower in the oven, select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little
longer.
The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit
juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher
and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake)
looks good, but is soggy on the inside
(sticky, streaked with water).
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. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs
and then place the topping on top. Please follow the recipe and baking times.
The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Bake
delicate pastries on one level using
% Top/bottom heating. Protruding greaseproof
paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut greaseproof paper to fit
the baking tray.
The bottom of a fruit cake is too light. Place the cake one level lower the next time.
The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one.
Small baked items made out of yeast
dough stick to one another when bak-
ing.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for
the baked items to expand well and turn brown on all sides.
You were baking on several levels. The
items on the top baking tray are darker
than that on the bottom baking tray.
Always use
: 3D hot air to bake on more than one level. Baking trays that are placed in
the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Condensation forms when you bake
moist cakes.
Baking may result in the formation of water vapour, which escapes above the door. The
steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adja-
cent units. This is a natural process.
