Risk of scalding by hot steam! Take care when
opening the oven door as steam may escape.
Tips for baking
Use nonstick coated appropriate metal trays
and containers or heat-resistant silicone
moulds.
Make best use of the space on the shelf.
It is recommended to place the vessels in the
middle of the shelf.
Select the correct shelf position before turning
the oven or grill on - don’t move oven shelves
when hot.
Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
Seasoning with lemon juice and black pepper
will improve the cooking performance when
cooking a whole chicken, turkey or a large
piece of meat.
Meat with bones takes about 15 to 30
minutes longer to cook than a roast of the
same size without bones.
Let meat rest in the oven for about 10 minutes
after the cooking time. The juices will be better
distributed throughout the meat and will not
run out when the meat is cut.
Fish in a heat proof dish should be placed at
the medium or lower level.
Tips for grilling
Grilling is ideal for cooking meat,
and
poultry and will achieve nice browning without
drying out the food. Flat pieces, meat skewers
and sausages are particularly suited for
grilling, as are vegetables with a high water
content, such as tomatoes and onions.
Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire
rack.
Use tray or grill pan under the wire rack in
order to collect dripping fat or juices.
Adding some water to the grill pan will assist
with cleaning.

Tips for baking cake
If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature
by 10°C and decrease the cooking time.
If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower the
temperature by 10°C.
If the cake is too dark on top, place it on
a lower shelf, lower the temperature and
increase the cooking time.
If cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside use less liquid, lower the temperature
and increase the cooking time.
Tips for baking pastry
If the pastry is too dry, increase the
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time. Dampen the layers of pastry with
a wash composed of milk, oil, egg.
If the pastry takes too long to bake, pay
attention that the thickness of the pastry you
have prepared
If the upper side of the pastry gets browned,
but the lower part is not cooked, make sure
that the amount of wash you have used for the
pastry is not too much at the bottom of the
pastry. Try to spread the wash equally over the
pastry for an even browning.
Cook the pastry in accordance with the mode
and temperature given in the cooking table. If
the bottom part is still not browned enough,
place it on one lower shelf next time.
Tips for cooking vegetables
If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets
too dry, cook it in a dish with a lid instead of
an open tray. Closed vessels will preserve the
juice of the dish.
If a vegetable dish is not cooked, boil the
vegetables beforehand.
