Baking; Tips On Baking - Miele DO 7860 Operating And Installation Instructions

Handling food carefully will help
protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and french fries should
be cooked until golden, not dark
brown.

Tips on baking

– If you are using M Chef functions, the
food is cooked from the inside by
electro-magnetic waves and at the
same time browned on the outside by
the heater elements. Cooking
durations are shorter this way than
with conventional functions. The set
temperature is higher in order to
achieve the level of browning required
in the shorter time.
– Set a cooking duration. When baking,
do not delay the start for too long.
Otherwise the cake mixture or dough
will dry out and the raising agents will
lose their effectiveness.
– Generally speaking, you can use wire
racks, baking trays, universal trays
and any type of bakeware made of
heat-resistant material.
– The bakeware used depends on the
oven function and how the food is
cooked. It is best to use metal baking
tins if possible. Bakeware made from
silicone, glass or ceramic may
prevent the underside browning
sufficiently.
– Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins
made from a shiny material as they
give an uneven or poor browning
result. In certain unfavourable
conditions, the food will not bake
properly.
– Position rectangular tins with the
longer side across the width of the
oven compartment for optimum heat
distribution and even baking results.
– Always place bakeware on the wire
rack.
– Bake cakes with fruit toppings or
deep cakes on the universal tray.
Using baking parchment
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean
enamel (see "Features"). Surfaces
treated with PerfectClean enamel
generally do not need to be greased or
covered with baking parchment.
 Use baking parchment when baking
lye mixtures because the sodium
hydroxide used can damage the
surface treated with PerfectClean.
 Use baking parchment when baking
sponge, meringue, macaroons or
similar items. Due to their high egg
white content, these are more likely to
stick.
 Use baking paper when cooking
frozen food on the rack.
