Tables and tips
This table contains a selection of dishes and the
optimum settings at which to cook them. You can
find out which type of heating and temperature is
best for your dish, which accessories to use, and at
which oven level the dish should be inserted. You will
find a variety of tips about ovenware and
preparation, and a small troubleshooting section in
case anything should go wrong.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins It is best to use dark baking tins. You should use
3D-hot air when using thin baking tins, or glass
containers. This means, however, that the baking
time is increased and the cake does not brown so
evenly.
Always place the cake tin on the wire rack.
Tables The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a
cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking
times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have
preheated the oven.
The tables show which type of heating is best for
different cakes and bakes.
The temperature and cooking time you select
depends on the quantity and type of pastry. This is
why „ranges“ are given in the tables. You should try
to use a lower temperature setting to start with,
since this allows more even browning. If necessary,
use a higher temperature setting the next time.
More information can be found in the „Baking tips“
section which follows the tables.
