frozen products

Circotherm intensive is particularly suitable for freshly
prepared dishes that require a lot of heat from underneath and
for frozen convenience products.
Please note the following points:
■
Line the baking tray with greaseproof paper
■
Spread chips out in a single layer
■
Turn frozen potato products half way through the baking time
■
Do not season frozen potato products until after baking
■
Leave a little space between bread rolls when crisping them
up. Do not place too many on a baking tray
■
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The information in the table is a guideline and applies to
aluminium baking trays. The values may vary depending on the
type and amount of dough/mixture and on the baking tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even
browning.
The values in the table apply to putting food in the cold oven.
The

Circotherm intensive setting cannot be used to bake on

* Preheat oven
The cake is too light in colour
Check the shelf height and the recommended bakeware. Place the baking tin on the wire
rack and not on the baking tray. Increase the baking time or the temperature.
The cake is too dark
Check the shelf height. Shorten the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the
baking tin
Check the shelf height and the temperature. Do not place the baking tin directly in front
of the air outlets in the back wall of the cooking compartment. Check for the correct
position of the baking tin on the wire rack.
The cake is unevenly browned on the
baking tray
Check the shelf height and the temperature. When baking small items, make sure that
they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry
Shorten the baking time and increase the temperature slightly.
The cake is too moist in the centre
Reduce the temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not mean shorter baking times
(cooked on the outside, but not on the inside). Increase the baking time and allow the
cake dough to prove longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
The cake collapses when you take it out
of the oven
Add less liquid to the mixture. Increase the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The specified baking time is not correct For small items, check the amount on the baking tray. The items must not be touching
each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly
after baking
If frozen products are unevenly browned when prebaked, then uneven browning is to be
expected after baking.
Frozen products are not browned, not
crispy or the specified time is not
correct
Remove ice from frozen products before baking them. Do not use heavily frosted frozen
products.
