15
General advice
When choosing the oven position, make sure you are counting from the
bottom.
Insert the tray with the bevelled edge towards you.
Always place baking tins at the centre of the grill.
With fan-assisted ¤ circulation or Top/Bottom ¡ heat, you can bake two
tins beside each other at the same time. The baking time becomes only
slightly longer.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking.
This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing tem-
perature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the
distortion will disappear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables show a selection of dishes, with recommended temperature set-
tings, cooking times, and oven positions.
Temperatures and baking times are given for guidance only, to be adapted
according to the particular combination of pastry, quantity, and baking
tin(s).
To begin with, we recommend setting to the lower temperature, and then
adjusting to suit individual requirements, for example, a higher tempera-
ture can be set if a darker brown is desired, or if baking time is found to be
too long.
The tables do not give recipes for the cakes or pastries described; for rec-
ipe details, please refer to the recipe for a similar item.
Times may increase by 10-15 minutes for cakes baked on trays or tins at
different oven positions.
Moist cakes and pastries (for example, pizzas, fruit cakes, etc.) can be
baked on one level only.
Widely different baking items may show different initial rates of browning
while baking. In this case, please do not change the temperature set-
ting. Rates of browning will even out later in the baking process.
2 With longer baking times, the oven can be turned off about 10 minutes be-
fore the end of the required time, to make use of the residual heat in the ov-
en.
Unless otherwise stated, the temperatures indicated are those to which the
oven is pre-heated.

Roasting
Use the rotitherm » or conventional ¡ oven functions for roasting.
Ovenware for roasting
Any heat-resistant dish is suitable for roasting (refer to the manufacturer's
instructions!).
If the dish has plastic handles, check that they are heat-resistant (refer to
manufacturer's instructions!).
Large roasts can be roasted directly on the universal baking tray or on
the shelf with the universal baking tray underneath (e.g. turkey, goose,
3-4 chickens, 3-4 knuckles of veal).
We recommend that all lean pieces of meat should be roasted in a casse-
role dish with a lid (e.g. veal, marinated beef, pot roast, frozen meat.) In
this way the meat will retain its juices.
In order to obtain a tasty outside crust we recommend roasting pieces of
meat in a casserole dish without a lid (e.g. roast pork, lamb and mutton,
meat loaf, duck, 1-2 knuckles of veal, 1-2 chickens, small fowl, roast beef,
fillets, game).
3 Tip: The oven will be less dirty if you always use a dish for roasting!
Shelf positions
Please see the following table for the shelf positions to be used.
3 Notes on the roasting table
Information is given in the table on suitable oven functions, temperature set-
tings, cooking times and shelf positions for various types of meat. The infor-
mation is for guidance.
We recommend roasting meat and fish with a minimum weight of 1kg in
the oven.
In general the conventional ¡ oven function is particularly suitable for very
lean meat such as fish or game. For all other types of meat (particularly
poultry) we recommend the rotitherm » function.
To stop meat juices or fat burning onto dishes or the oven, we recommend
adding a little liquid to the roasting dish.
Turn the joint as required (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
3 Tip: Baste large joints and poultry several times during cooking with the
meat juices. This will produce better roasting results.
2 Switch off the oven approx. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time
to make use of the residual heat.
