How it works
32
¡
Position baking tins/dishes either next to one an-
other or offset on different shelves so that they are
not directly one above the other in the cooking com-
partment. You can cut energy use by cooking differ-
ent items at the same time.
¡
For best results, we recommend using dark-col-
oured metal baking tins.

Recommended settings for cakes and baked items
The temperature and baking time depend on the quant-
ity and consistency of the dough. This is why temperat-
ure ranges are given in the tables. Set a short cooking
time first. If required, set a longer cooking time next
time. A lower temperature results in more even brown-
ing.
Baking tips
We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a
good baking result.
Topic
Tip
You want your cake to
rise evenly.
¡
Only grease the base
of the springform cake
tin.
¡
After baking, use a
knife to carefully
loosen the cake from
the baking tin.
You do not want small
baked goods to stick to
each other when baking.
Leave a minimum clear-
ance of 2 cm around
each item that is to be
baked. This allows
enough space for the
baked goods to expand
and brown on all sides.
Determine whether the
cake is ready.
Push a cocktail stick into
the highest point on the
cake. If the cocktail stick
comes out clean, the
cake is ready.
You want to bake accord-
ing to your own recipe.
Use similar items in the
baking tables as a guide.
Use bakeware made of
silicone, glass, plastic or
ceramic.
¡
The baking tin must be
heat-resistant up to
250 °C.
¡
Cakes in these types
of bakeware brown
less.
