Notes on the baking charts
The following charts give the required temperature settings, cooking times and oven lev-
els for a selection of dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of the mixture, the quantity and the type of baking tin.
• For the first time, we recommend you apply the lower temperature setting and only
choose a higher temperature if necessary, e.g. if you want a browner effect or if cook-
ing time is taking too long.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe of your own, look for the one
that is most similar.
• When baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time can
be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist products (pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
• Differences in the height of the items can cause differences in the degree of browning
at the beginning of the baking process. You should not change the temperature
setting if this occurs. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. If this is the
case, adjust your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven levels to the
recommendations in the following charts.
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.
