Baking
▯
We recommend using dark-coloured metal baking
tins as these absorb heat more effectively. Place
the baking tin in the centre of the wire rack.
▯
If you are baking tray bakes without greaseproof
paper, lightly grease the baking tray beforehand.
▯
Small baked items, e.g. cream puffs, biscuits and
puff pastry parcels, can be baked on two levels,
1+3 or 2+4.
▯
If you are baking on more than one level, it is
normal for food on baking trays placed in the oven
at the same time to be ready at different times.
Leave the food on the baking trays lower down in
the oven to cook for a little longer, or place them
in the appliance earlier next time.
▯
Before cutting the baked items, leave them to cool
on a wire rack.
▯
If the baked items are too dark on the bottom,
place them a level up and select a lower
temperature.
If the baked items are too dark on the top, place
them a level down, select a lower temperature and
extend the baking time a little.
▯
If the cake is too dry, set the temperature a little
higher. If the cake remains uncooked in the
middle, set a lower temperature.
Baking times cannot be reduced by setting a
higher temperature; it is better to set the
temperature a little lower.
▯
If the cake collapses, use less liquid or set the
temperature 10 °C lower. Do not open the oven
door too soon.
▯
If the cake only rises in the middle, grease the
sides of the baking tin.
▯
Do not remove the biscuits from the baking tray;
place the baking tray back into the hot oven for a
short period and remove the biscuits whilst they
are still hot.
▯
If the cake does not come away from the tin when
you are trying to turn it out, carefully slide a knife
around the sides to loosen it. Turn the cake tin
upside down again and cover it several times with
a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well
and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
▯
In addition, always follow the manufacturer's
instructions for pre-baked and frozen products.
