CAUTION
Do not leave oven unattended while popping corn.
Popcorn may ignite and cause fire.
You cannot find any information about the settings for
the quantity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted,
hot or cooked.
Time has elapsed but the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on
the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins: It is best to use dark-colored metal baking
tins.
When using the microwave, use baking containers made
of glass, ceramic or plastic. These must be heat-resistant
up to 480° F (250°C). Cakes will not brown so well if you
use these types of baking containers.
Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold
oven.
Cake
Sponge cake, simple
Sponge cake, delicate (e.g.sandcake)
Cake base with edge of short-crust pastry Springform cake
Sponge cake base
Hot water sponge cake
Cake with dry topping (sponge)
Cake with moist topping, e.g. yeast dough
with apple crumble
Plaited loaf with 17.6 oz (500 g) flour
* Allow cake to cool in the oven for approx. 20 minutes.
** Never pour water directly into a hot oven.
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following
rule of thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the
amount = half the time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food that is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
The temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the mixture. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher
setting the next time. A lower temperature results in more
even browning.
More information can be found in the "Baking tips"
section that follows the tables.
Always place the cake pan in the center of the wire rack.
