Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

Only preheat the oven when it is specified in the recipe that
■
you should do so.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
■
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are
■
cooking, baking or roasting.
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 loaf 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.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products
prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips,
toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits,
gingerbread, cookies).
