selection of cakes and gateaux. The temperature and cooking
times depend on the quantity and consistency of the dough.
The values in the table apply to dishes placed into the cooking
compartment when it is cold and empty.

from the lower gas burner is ignited. For this reason, the
underside of food is usually more browned than the top.
