20.9 Bakes and gratins
You can use your appliance to cook bakes and gratins.
Tips for cooking bakes and soufflés
¡ How well cooked a bake is depends on the size of
the cookware and the depth of the bake. Use an
ovenproof dish that is 4 to 5 cm deep for bakes and
gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow
cookware and it browns more on top.

Tips for cooking in cookware
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold sur-
face, the glass may shatter.
▶
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cook-
ing.
¡ Only use cookware that is suitable for what you in-
tend to use it for.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
¡ Stainless steel and aluminium roasting trays that ha-
ve a shiny surface are not suitable for microwave
use.
During conventional cooking, shiny roasting trays re-
flect heat like a mirror, meaning that they are not en-
tirely suitable.
The poultry, meat or fish cooks slower and does not
brown so well.
Use a higher temperature and a longer cooking
time for conventional cooking.
¡ Follow the cookware manufacturer's instructions.
Cookware without a lid
¡ To cook poultry, meat and fish, it is best to use a
deep roasting tin.
¡ Place the tin on the bottom of the cooking compart-
ment.
¡ If you would like to cook using added steam, use
cookware without a lid.
¡ If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the
glass tray.

Cookware with a lid
¡ Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
Tips for cooking in combination with the
microwave
¡ Cooking in combination with the microwave consi-
derably reduces the cooking time.
¡ When using the microwave, the cooking time is de-
termined based on the total weight.
If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the
specified quantity, the general rule is: "Double the
quantity requires just under double the cooking
time".
¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡ Metal roasting dishes or earthenware pots are only
suitable for roasting without using the microwave.
Tips for cooking with added steam
¡ Certain dishes become crispier if cooked using ad-
ded steam. Their surface becomes glossier and
they dry out less.
¡ Use cookware without a lid.
¡ Use cookware that is heat-resistant and steam-resi-
stant.
¡ Cook with added steam if it is indicated in the set-
tings table.
¡ Fill the water tank up to the "MAX" mark. If the app-
liance runs out of water, it will continue to cook your
meal with the selected type of heating but without
added steam.
