HINTS AND TIPS

Refer to Safety chapters.

Double oven

Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has 4 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche.

Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.

Baking

For the first baking, use the lower temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally. There is no need to change the temperature setting if an unequal browning occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during baking. When the trays are cold again, the distortions disappear.

Tips on baking

Baking

Tips on Roasting

Use heat-resistant ovenware.
Roast lean meat covered (you can use aluminium foil).
Roast large meat joints directly in the tray.
Put some water in the tray to prevent dripping fat from burning.
Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time.
Roast meat and fish in large pieces (1 kg or more).
If level one is suggested put the food directly on the baking tray
Baste meat joints with their own juice several times during roasting.

Grilling

Always grill with the maximum temperature setting.
Set the shelf into the shelf position as recommended in the grilling table.
For grilling in the top oven adjust the shelf position to suit different thicknesses of food.
Always set the pan to collect the fat into the first shelf position.
Grill only flat pieces of meat or fish.
Always preheat the empty oven with the grill functions for 5 minutes.

Always grill with the oven door closed.
