11. OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
11.1 Top oven
The top oven is smaller than the main
oven. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It is
especially good for baking fruitcakes,
cookies, savoury flans or quiche.
11.2 Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
11.4 Tips on baking
Baking results
The bottom of the cake
is not baked sufficiently.
The cake sinks and be‐
comes soggy or streaky.
The cake is too dry.
The cake bakes un‐
evenly.
The cake is not ready in
the baking time speci‐
fied in a recipe.
Possible cause
The shelf position is incor‐
rect.
The oven temperature is too
high.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
The oven temperature is too
low.
The baking time is too long.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
The cake batter is not even‐
ly distributed.
The oven temperature is too
low.
11.3 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally. There is no
need to change the temperature setting if
an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during
baking. When the trays are cold again,
the distortions disappear.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower shelf.
Next time set slightly lower oven
temperature.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
Next time set higher oven temper‐
ature.
Next time set shorter baking time.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
Next time spread the cake batter
evenly on the baking tray.
Next time set a slightly higher
oven temperature.
