Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe
or in the operating instructions table.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins.
They absorb the heat particularly well.
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 cake 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.
Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for
your food. A larger, less full saucepan requires more
energy.
Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
The gas flame must always be in contact with the
base of the saucepan.
