Cooking Advice
English
The oven offers a wide range of
alternatives which allow you to cook any
type of food in the best possible way.
With time you will learn to make the best
use of this versatile cooking appliance
and the following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according
to your own personal experience.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place in
the oven after it has been preheated
(about 15 minutes). The temperature is
normally around 320
o
F. Do not open the
door while the cake is baking in order to
prevent it from dropping.
In general:
Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by
50
o
F and reduce the cooking
time
Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the
temperature by 50
o
F
Pastry is too
dark on top
Place it on a lower rack,
lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on
the inside but
sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the
temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry
sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and
sprinkle it with a dusting
of flour or use greaseproof
paper
Cooking Pizza
For tasty crispy pizzas:
● Preheat the oven for at least 15
minutes.
● Use a light aluminum pizza pan,
placing it on the rack supplied with
the oven. If the dripping pan is used,
this will extend the cooking time,
making it difficult to get a crispy
crust.
● Do not open the oven door frequently
while the pizza is cooking;
● If the pizza has a lot of toppings
(three or four), we recommend you
add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish,
use temperature settings from 338
o
F to
374
o
F.
For red meat that should be well done
on the outside while tender and juicy in
the inside, it is a good idea to start with a
high temperature setting (392
o
F~428
o
F)
for a short time, then turn the oven down
afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the
lower the temperature setting. Place the
meat on the center of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath to catch the fat.
Make sure that grid is inserted so that it
is in the center of the oven. If you would
like to increase the amount of heat from
below, use the low rack heights. For
savory roasts (especially duck and wild
game), dress the meat with lard or bacon
on the top.
