Helpful hints and tips Warning! Refer to "Safety information" chapter. The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes, quality and quantity of the ingredients used. Caution! Use a deep baking tray for very moist cakes. Fruit juices can cause permanent stains on the enamel. Top oven The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has 6 shelf levels. Use is to cook smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants or quiche. Main oven The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. Baking General instructions • Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the ap- pliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels to the values in the tables. • With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end of baking time, to use the residual heat. When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays get cold again, the distortion will be gone. How to use the Baking Tables • We recommend to use the lower temperature the first time. • If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the same. • Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if you bake cakes on more than one level. • Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure. Tips on baking Baking results The cake is not browned sufficiently below The cake sinks (becomes soggy, lumpy, streaky) The cake sinks (becomes soggy, lumpy, streaky) Possible cause Incorrect oven level Oven temperature too high Baking time is too short The cake sinks (becomes soggy, lumpy, streaky) Cake is too dry Cake is too dry Cake does not brown equally Cake does not brown equally Too much liquid in the mixture Oven temperature too low Baking time too long Oven temperature too high and baking time too short No equal mixture Remedy Put the cake on a lower oven level Use a lower setting Set a longer baking time Do not set higher temperatures to decrease baking times Use less liquid. Look at the mixing times, specially when you use mixing machines Set a higher oven temperature Set a shorter baking time Set a lower oven temperature and a longer baking time Put the mixture equally on the baking tray 8 www.zanussi.com
