You want to find out whether the
baked item is completely cooked in
the middle.
Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the baked item. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no
dough residue, the baked item is ready.
The baked item collapses.
Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere
to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The baked item has risen in the mid-
dle but is lower around the edge.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the baked item carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.
Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one
another during baking.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to
expand well and brown on all sides.
The baked item is too dry.
Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The baked item is too light in colour
overall.
If the shelf position and the accessories are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or
extend the baking time.
The baked item is too light on top, and
too dark underneath.
Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The baked item is too dark on top,
and too light underneath.
Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking
time.
The baked item is too dark in a tin or
loaf tin.
Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back wall.
The baked item is too dark in colour
overall.
Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The baked item is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back
wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels.
The items on the top baking tray are
darker than those on the lower baking
tray.
Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in
baking tins at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
