Bakes and gratins

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for
preparing bakes. You can find the ideal settings for
many dishes in the settings tables.
How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of
the cookware and the depth of the bake.

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 breadcrumbs 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.
