neath.

neath.

Bakes and gratins
Your appliance offers a range of heating functions for
cooking bakes. The settings tables list the optimal
settings for a wide range of dishes.
How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of
the cookware and the shelf position of the bake.
Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware
and it browns more on top.

Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the baked item. If the cocktail stick comes out
clean with no dough residue, the baked item is ready.
Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the
baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the baked item care-
fully with a knife.
Next time, use the universal pan.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the
baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
If the shelf position and the accessories are correct, then you should increase the tempera-
ture if necessary or extend the baking time.
Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and
extend the baking time.
Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back wall.
Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper
to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking
compartment back wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the
oven on trays or in baking tins at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same
time.
Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For
baked items with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread-
crumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the baked item to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully
loosen it around the edges again using a knife. Turn the baked item upside down again and
cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin and sprinkle
with breadcrumbs.
Always use the shelf positions indicated.
You can cook food on one level in baking tins/dishes or
in the universal pan.
