Baking at different levels
Using the hot air mode
<
.
Baking on two levels:
■
Universal tray: level 3.
■
Oven tray: level 1.
Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily
ready at the same time.
In these tables you will find numerous tips for your dishes.
If 3 rectangular moulds are used at the same time, place on the
wire shelf as shown in the diagram.
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.
Tables
The table shows the optimum heating methods for each type of
cake or dessert. The temperature and cooking time will depend
on the amount and the consistency of the dough. For this
reason the cooking tables always provide approximate cooking
times. Always begin by trying the lowest value. The items will be
more evenly browned at a lower temperature. If necessary, this
can be increased next time.
If the oven is preheated, cooking times are reduced by 5 to 10
minutes.
Additional information is provided in the Tips for baking section
as an appendix to the tables.
To bake a cake only on one level, place the mould on the
enamel tray.
When baking several cakes at the same time, the moulds can
be placed together on the wire shelf.

If you want to use your own recipe. You can use a similar one listed in the cooking table.
How to check if your sponge cake is ready. Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time indicated in the recipe, test the
thickest part of the cake with a thin wooden skewer. The cake is ready when the
skewer comes out clean, with no traces of cake batter left on the skewer.
The cake is too flat. Next time, try using less liquid or reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees.
Ensure you mix the batter according to the times given in the recipe.
