Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato
crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).
Slow cook
Slow cooking is a technique for cooking food over a
long period at low temperatures. For this reason, it is
also called "low-temperature cooking".
Slow cooking is ideal for all prime cuts (e.g. tender
portions of beef, veal, pork, lamb or poultry) which are
to be cooked "à point". The meat will remain succulent
and tender.
The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots
of scope for menu planning because slow-cooked meat
is easy to keep warm. You do not have to turn the meat
when cooking. Keep the appliance door closed in order
to maintain an even cooking climate.
Only use fresh, clean and hygienic meat without bones.
Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge.
Fat develops a strong, distinct flavour during slow
cooking. You can also use seasoned or marinated
meat. Do not use defrosted meat.

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum
General
■
Keep cooking times as short as possible.
■
Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
■
Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking
With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits
With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.
With hot air at max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips
Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that
the chips do not dry out.
