Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent
the cake from dropping. In general:
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “Pizza Mode
w:
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode b, as the Pizza
Mode w would heat the bottom rack more than the
others.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
