10.3 Baking
Use the lower temperature the first time.
You can extend baking times by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than
one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally. There is no
need to change the temperature setting if
an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
