Drying
▯
Drying is a method of preserving food in which up
to 50% of the liquid contained in the food is
removed by exposing it to dry heat. This also makes
the flavour more intense.
▯
The thicker the food, the longer the drying process
lasts. The quickest way to dry food – which is also
the method that saves the most energy – is to cut it
into slices.

Baking stone
▯
You will need a baking stone and heating element –
these are optional accessories.
▯
Whether you are baking crispy pizza or fresh bread,
with the baking stone, you will achieve results that
are comparable to, or even exceed, those that you
would get from a massive stone oven because you
are able to precisely control the baking
temperature.
▯
Depending on the size, you can place several
pizzas, bread rolls or other baked items on the
baking stone at once.

Place the prepared food onto a wire rack or baking
tray covered with greaseproof paper. Turn the food
from time to time during the drying process.
▯
The duration depends on the thickness of the food
and on the natural level of moisture in the food, i.e.
tomatoes take longer to dry out than mushrooms.
▯
If you want to dry food in the oven on two levels at
the same time, use levels 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4).

You can bake several pizzas in succession. This may
increase the baking time per pizza by approx. one to
three minutes.
▯
When dough is baked, it needs to be able to expand
without the surface breaking apart. This can be
achieved by pricking it several times with a fork or
by making a cut with a knife.
▯
The temperatures and times specified in the
cooking table are average values. In addition,
always follow the manufacturer's instructions for
pre-cooked and frozen products.
