Tables and suggestions
Here are some details of a range of dishes and the ideal
settings for their preparation. This also provides information
about which accessories to use and at which height they
should be placed. There is also advice on which pans to use,
food preparation guidelines and suggestions on what to do if
things go wrong.
If you wish to use your own recipe, as a guide, you can use a
similar one listed in the cooking table.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins
Ideally, dark-coloured metal baking tins should be used.
Always place baking tins on shelves.
Tables
The cooking times in the table below have been calculated for
use without preheating the oven. This will help you to save
energy. If the oven has been preheated, the cooking times
indicated can be reduced by 5 to 10 minutes.
Consult the tables to determine the most suitable type of
heating for the type of cake or pastry in question. Oven
temperature and cooking time depend on the number of items
and the consistency of the mix. For this reason the cooking
tables will always provide approximate cooking times. Start with
the lowest figure. The items will be more evenly browned at a
lower temperature. A higher temperature can always be used
next time, if necessary.
Further information is provided in the "Practical cooking tips"
section.
