Baking in the oven

The following settings are recom-
mended for baking:

– Fan Heat

– Intensive Bake

– Conventional

Baking with the “Fan Heat

”

setting

Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable, including thin-
walled and bright, non-reflective metal
moulds.

Several levels can be used at the same
time for baking. The recommended po-
sitions are:

1 tray = 1st runner from the bottom

2 trays = 1st and 3rd runners from the
bottom

3 trays = 1st, 2nd and 5th runners from
the bottom

When baking moist biscuits, cakes
or bread, do not bake on more than
two levels.

With the “Fan

” setting

lower baking

temperatures

are needed than with the

“Conventional

” setting. See the bak-

ing charts.

Baking with the
“Intensive baking

”setting

This method of heating is particularly
useful for:

– dishes that require a moist topping

and crisp base, such as pizzas and
quiche lorraine, or where the base
has not been pre-baked.

Any heat-resistant baking tin can be
used.

Put the cake in on the 1st runner from
the bottom. If the base is overcooked,
use a higher level runner next time.

Baking with the
“Conventional

” setting.

The following

baking tins

give an

evenly browned result:
Dark metal or enamel tins with a matt
finish are preferable. Heat resistant
glass or thermoplastic dishes can be
used.

Avoid thin-walled and bright, non-
reflective metal moulds. These will
give uneven browning results.

Pre-heat the oven only for:

– cakes / biscuits with a very short bak-

ing time,

– victoria sponge and similar mixtures.

Select

runner height
