Saving energy
■
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in
the operating instruction tables.
■
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
■
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are
cooking, baking or roasting.
■
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven
is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second
cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
■
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Saving energy with the hob
■
Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven bases
increase energy consumption.
■
The diameter of pan bases should be the same size as the
hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause
energy losses. Note that cookware manufacturers often
indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually
bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
without a lid, four times the energy is required.
■
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can
switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Automatic programmes
The automatic programmes help you to achieve elaborate pot
roasts, juicy roasts and delicious stews very easily. You do not
have to worry about turning and basting and the cooking
compartment remains clean.
The cooking result depends on the quality of the meat and the
size and type of ovenware. Use an oven cloth or oven gloves
