The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a
cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking
times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have
preheated the oven.
The tables show which type of heating is best for
different cakes and bakes.
The temperature and cooking time you select depends
on the quantity and type of pastry. This is why ranges"
are given in the tables. You should try to use a lower
temperature setting to start with, since this allows more
even browning. If necessary, use a higher temperature
setting the next time.
More information can be found in the Baking tips"
section which follows the tables.
