Baking Handling and cooking food correctly is essential for maintaining good health. Cakes, pizzas, and French fries should be cooked until golden, not dark brown. Always observe USDA/CFIA food safety guidelines. Baking tips - Set a cooking duration. If used for baking, do not delay the start for too long. Otherwise the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effectiveness. - Generally, you can use the wire rack, universal tray, and any type of bakeware made of heat-resistant material. - Always place bakeware on the wire rack. - Always cook frozen goods such as cakes, pizza, or baguettes on the wire rack. Using parchment paper Miele accessories, e.g., the universal tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see "Cleaning and care for the steam oven"). Surfaces treated with PerfectClean generally do not need to be greased or covered with parchment paper.  Use parchment paper when cooking: - lye mixtures because anything prepared using a lye containing sodium hydroxide can damage the PerfectClean surface - mixtures with a high egg-white content, such as sponge, meringue, and macaroons, as these can easily stick - puff pastry or strudel dough - frozen food on the wire rack - small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes on the universal tray Very high temperatures can cause the universal tray to distort to such an extent that the tray cannot be taken out of the oven compartment. - Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the universal tray. Turn these frozen food items several times during cooking. - Bake on a maximum of two levels at the same time. 144
