Baking tips
Grease filter
Remove the grease filter from the
back panel as otherwise results can
be uneven. (Exception: Flans with a
deep, fresh fruit filling, e.g. plums or
damsons, pizza with lots of topping).
Bakeware
Dark-coloured tins are best for bak‐
ing. These conduct the heat more
swiftly to the mixture. Shiny metal
tins reflect heat.
Cakes in shiny metal tins take longer
to cook.
Bake cakes in rectangular tins with
the longer side across the width of
the oven for optimum heat distribu‐
tion and even results.
Universal tray
Because of its PerfectClean non-stick
surface the universal tray does not
need to be greased or lined with baking
parchment for baking.
Shelf level
Bake on a maximum of two levels at
the same time. When baking on two
levels at the same time, follow the in‐
structions given in "Automatic pro‐
grammes".
Baking parchment
Baking parchment should be used with:
– Anything with a high salt content (e.g.
pretzels, bread sticks), because so‐
dium can damage the PerfectClean
surface,
– Meringues or sponges with a high
egg-white content, because they are
more likely to stick.
– Puff pastry
Frozen food
When baking deep frozen products
such as chips, croquettes, cakes,
pizza and baguettes, use the lowest
temperature quoted on the manufac‐
turer's packaging.
Cook frozen goods such as cakes,
pizza or baguettes on a layer of bak‐
ing parchment placed on the rack.
Baking large frozen items on the uni‐
versal tray can cause the metal to
distort to such an extent that the tray
cannot be taken out of the oven.
Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray.
Place them on baking parchment and
turn several times during cooking.
