Tips for keeping acrylamide levels
low during cooking
Acrylamide is dangerous to your health and is pro-
duced in particular when you cook cereal and potato
products at high temperatures.
Dish
Tip
General
¡
Keep cooking times as short as possible.
¡
Brown dishes until they are golden brown and not too
dark.
¡
Use large, thick pieces of food. These contain less
acrylamide.
Baked items and biscuits
¡
Set the temperature for hot air to max. 180 °C.
¡
Brush baked items and biscuits with egg or egg yolk.
This reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips
¡
Spread the chips out evenly and in a single layer on
the baking tray.
¡
Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that
the chips do not dry out.
Defrosting, heating and cooking with
the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin
with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set-
ting the next time. It may be that you have different
quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a
rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.

Preparation tips
