... Tips and tricks Tips and tricks for Hot air Baking times can only be reduced to a limited extent by means of higher oven temperatures, since products may then appear to be ready-baked on the outside, but will still be raw and doughy on the inside. In this case, lower the temperature slightly and extend the baking time.
