Hints and tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a me-
dium temperature (150°C-200°C). Therefore, it
is necessary to pre-heat the oven for approx. 10
minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the
baking time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin
or on a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time and
then garnished before being fully baked. This
further baking time depends on the type and
amount of topping or filling. Sponge mixtures must
separate with difficulty from the spoon. The baking
time would be unnecessarily extended by too
much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, a shelf
level must be left free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, the trays
must be swapped and turned around after about
2/3 of the baking time.
When roasting:
Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg. Smaller
pieces could dry out when roasting. Dark meat,
which is to be well done on the outside but remain
medium or rare inside, must be roasted at a
higher temperature (200°C-250°C).
White meat, poultry and fish, on the other
hand, require a lower temperature (150°C-
175°C). The ingredients for a sauce or gravy
should only be added to the roasting pan right at
the beginning if the cooking time is short.
Otherwise add them in the last half hour.
You can use a spoon to test whether the meat
is cooked: if it cannot be depressed, it is cooked
through. Roast beef and fillet, which is to remain
pink inside, must be roasted at a higher
temperature in a shorter time.

If cooking meat directly on the oven shelf,
insert the roasting pan in the shelf level below.
Leave the joint to stand for at least 15 minutes,
so that the meat juices do not run out.
To reduce the build up of smoke in the oven,
it is recommended to pour a little water in the
roasting pan. To prevent condensation forming,
add water several times. The plates can be kept
warm in the oven at minimum temperature until
serving.
Important!
Do not line the oven with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays,
pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the
heat that builds up will damage the
oven enamel.

Cooking times

roasting to gain experience for later preparation
of the same dishes.
Based upon your own experiences you will
be able to alter the values given in the tables.
