Cooking advice and instructions
7.1.1
General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in.
For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function
(

)
to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.
In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the
temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on
the inside).
7.1.2
Advice for cooking meat
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality
of the food and to consumer taste.
We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it.
Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if
not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
7.1.3
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and
consistency of the dough.
Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the
cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough
does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
