Baking
80
Handling food carefully will help
protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and chips should be
cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Tips on baking
– Set a cooking duration. When baking,
the oven should not be set to start a
long time off. Otherwise the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins as
they give an uneven or poor browning
result. In certain unfavourable
conditions, the food will not cook
properly.
– Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
– Line the glass tray with baking paper
before placing chips, potatoes
croquette and similar types of food
on it.
Notes on the cooking charts
You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
Selecting the temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those recommended may reduce the
cooking duration, but will lead to
uneven browning of the food, and
unsatisfactory cooking results.
Selecting the cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the cooking
durations given in the cooking charts
are for an oven compartment which has
not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven compartment, shorten durations
by around 10minutes.
As a general rule, check whether the
food is cooked after the shortest
duration. Stick a wooden skewer into
the food.
If it comes out clean without any batter/
dough on it, the food is done.
