Tips on baking
Handling and preparing food
correctly is essential for maintaining
good health. Only bake cakes,
pizza, chips etc. until they are
golden brown. Do not overcook
them or allow them to become dark
brown.
Refer to the baking chart for
recommended temperatures and
times.
– Always select the lowest temperature
given in the chart/recipe/cooking
instructions given on the packaging.
Do not select a higher temperature
than that advised. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the baking
time, but will lead to uneven
browning. In some cases cakes
might not cook properly.
– At the end of the shorter time given,
check to see whether the cake etc. is
done. Insert a metal or wooden
skewer into the centre. If it comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it, the cake is ready.
– Steam baking 8 is ideal for bread,
bread rolls and yeast doughs e.g.
Stollen and puff pastries.
– When using Baking A pre-heat the
oven for 5 minutes.
38
– It is not possible to bake on more
than one level at a time in this
appliance.
– Before Steam baking 8 and before
Baking A check the recess
underneath the filter in the base of
the oven. It must always be dry,
otherwise the items being baked will
not rise properly.
– When baking cakes with a deep
fresh fruit filling, e.g. plum or
damson, use the grill pan / oven tray.
This will avoid juices from spilling
over and will make it easier to clean
the oven.
– Yeast dough can be put in the oven
to rise.
Turn the function selector to Baking
A and reduce the recommended
temperature to 50 °C. Set a time of
30 minutes for proving and start the
oven. Remember to cover the dough!
