CAKES AND PASTRIES
• The times given apply to food placed in a cold
oven.
• The temperature and baking time depend on
the consistency and amount of the mixture.
This is why temperature ranges are given in the
tables. Begin with the lower temperature and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time,
since a lower temperature results in more even
browning.
• Additional information can be found in the
Baking tips section following the tables.
• Always place the cake tin in the centre of
the lower wire rack. But the food with **
should be placed on the turntable.
BAKING TINS
Note: It is best to use dark-coloured metal
baking tins.
