Cooking advice and instructions

8.1.1

General advice

We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in.

•  For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function

to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.

•  In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the

temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked
on the inside).

•  While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on

the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of
times while cooking.

8.1.2

Advice for cooking meat

•  Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and

quality of the food and to consumer taste.

•  We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it.

Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if
not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

8.1.3

Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits

•  Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
•  The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and

consistency of the dough.

•  Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking

time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does
not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.

•  If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion

reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
