How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelf
levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on
the consistency of pastry, mixture or dough, the number and the type of bak-
ing tin.
• We recommend setting the lower temperature when baking for the first time,
and if required, e.g. if a darker browning is desired or if the baking time is too
long, select a higher temperature.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is
most similar.
• If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on more than one level, baking time can
be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. If
this occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates
of browning even out as baking progresses.
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. So
adapt your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven shelf levels
to the recommendations in the following tables.
With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before
the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is
started with the oven cold.
