9.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and
consistency of the dough.
• Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the
cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the
dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about 10 °C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
9.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
The defrosting function enables any type of food to be defrosted. To start
defrosting, turn the oven function knob to
into operation to ensure uniform distribution of the ambient temperature inside
the oven.
The defrosting time will depend on the quantity of food to be defrosted.
• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first
runner of the oven.
• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the
second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In
this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom
of the oven.
9.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
• Using the Grill function
oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function
preheat the oven before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
