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.
Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. In
deep, narrow cookware, food requires more time to
cook, and the top will be darker.
Always use the indicated shelf positions.
You can prepare dishes on one level using a baking tin/
dish or the universal pan.
Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack: Level 2
■
Universal pan: Level 3

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can
make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position
baking tins/dishes next to one another in the cooking
compartment.

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.
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 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.
