The oven

Practical use

Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven 
dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Block-
ing heat from the bottom of the oven can damage 
the enamel through overheating. The oven gets 
hot when in use:

.

The baking tray may warp temporarily due to tempera-
ture fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is 
unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes 
its shape when cool.

How does one know which oven functions to use in 

different situations? See below for practical advice on 
how to efficiently use the oven functions for various 
ways of cooking:

 Baking

Use a skewer to check whether sponge cakes are ready 
when there are about 5 minutes left. You can then 
shorten or lengthen the baking time. The material, 
colour, shape and size of the baking tins as well as the 
recipe can affect results.

Roasting

Roasting is a practical and convenient method of 
cooking. Joints of beef such as topside and sirloin 
retain their natural juices best if roasted at 125°C, but 
this does take longer than at a higher temperature. 
Choose an ovenproof dish which is only just big 
enough for the joint, to prevent the meat juices which 
collect in the dish (e.g. for gravy) from evaporating. 
Use a large roasting pan or ovenproof dish when roast-
ing a joint of ham as there is usually a lot of meat.
