Hints and Tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C) and therefore it is necessary
to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the baking time
has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin or on a tray
for up to 2/3 of the baking time and then garnished before
being fully baked. This further baking time depends on
the type and amount of topping or filling. Sponge mixtures
must separate with difficulty from the spoon. The baking
time would be unnecessarily extended by too much
liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted
into the oven at the same time, a shelf level must be left
free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted
into the oven at the same time, the trays must be swapped
and turned around after about 2/3 of the baking time.
On Roasting:
Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg. Smaller pieces
could dry out when roasting. Dark meat, which is to be
well done on the outside but remain medium or rare
inside, must be roasted at a higher temperature (200°C-
250°C).
White meat, poultry and fish, on the other hand, require a
lower temperature (150°C-175°C). The ingredients for a
sauce or gravy should only be added to the roasting pan
right at the beginning if the cooking time is short. Other-
wise add them in the last half hour.
You can use a spoon to test whether the meat is cooked:
if it cannot be depressed, it is cooked through. Roast beef
and fillet, which is to remain pink inside, must be roasted
at a higher temperature in a shorter time.
If cooking meat directly on the oven shelf, insert the
roasting pan in the shelf level below to catch the juices.
Leave the joint to stand for at least 15 minutes, so that the
meat juices do not run out.
To reduce the build up of smoke in the oven, it is recom-
mended to pour a little water in the roasting pan. To
prevent condensation forming, add water several times.
The plates can be kept warm in the oven at minimum
temperature until serving.
Caution!
Do not line the oven with aluminium foil
and do not place a roasting pan or baking
tray on the floor, as otherwise the oven
enamel will be damaged by the heat build-
up.
Cooking times
Cooking times can vary according to the different com-
position, ingredients and amounts of liquid in the indi-
vidual dishes.
Note the settings of your first cooking or roasting experi-
ments to gain experience for later preparation of the same
dishes.
Based upon your own experiences you will be able to
alter the values given in the tables.
