... 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.
Page 57
... Tips and tricks The product is not evenly browned Some differences in the degree of browning are normal for every oven. In general lower temperatures ensure more even browning. If necessary lower the oven temperature slightly. On baking with hot air, check that the oven level used tallies with recommendations in the table.
