TIPS FOR COOKING IN THE OVEN
Baking
•
we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker;
•
it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere, which should
be put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which
conduct heat better and shorten the baking time;
•
shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when
using the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such
tins can result in undercooking the base of cakes;
•
when using the convection fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the
oven chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber
before the cake is inserted;
•
before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden
stick (if the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being
inserted into the cake);
•
after switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.;
•
temperatures for baking with the convection function are usually around 20°C
– 30°C lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters);
•
settings given in the table are reference only and may be modified depending
on your own experience and preferences.
•
if information given in recipe books is significantly different from the values pro-
vided in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.
Roasting meat
•
cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked
on the heating zones.
•
use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to
high temperatures;
•
when roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a
baking tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven;
•
it is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during roasting you should
also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water – do not pour cold
water over the meat.
