Baking; Baking Tips - Miele DGC 7440 X 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.

Baking tips

– Set a cooking duration. When baking,
the oven should not be set to start a
long time off. Otherwise the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Generally speaking, you can use
racks, universal trays and any type of
baking tray made of heat-resistant
material.
– Always place baking tins on the rack.
– Always cook frozen goods such as
cakes, pizza or baguettes on the
rack.
Very high temperatures can cause
the universal tray to distort to such
an extent that the tray cannot be
taken out of the oven compartment.
– Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray. Turn
these frozen food items several times
during cooking.
– Bake on a maximum of 2 levels at the
same time. When baking cakes with
a moist topping, only bake on one
level.
Using baking parchment
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see
"Cleaning and care"). Surfaces treated
with PerfectClean generally do not
need to be greased or covered with
baking parchment.
 Use baking parchment when cooking:
– lye mixtures because anything
prepared using a lye containing
sodium hydroxide can damage the
PerfectClean surface
– mixtures with a high egg white
content, such as sponge, meringue
and macaroons, as these can easily
stick
– puff pastry or strudel dough
– frozen food on the rack
– small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes on
the universal tray
