Baked goods
▯ We recommend dark pans of metal since these absorb
the heat better. Place the pan in the middle of the wire
rack.
▯ For sheet cakes without greaseproof paper, oil the
pan slightly.
▯ Small baked items such as cream puffs, cookies or
pastries can be baked on two levels, 1+3 or 2+4.
▯ If you bake on several levels it is normal that the trays
are not done at the same time. Leave the lower trays
bake a little longer or put them in the oven earlier the
next time.
▯ Before cutting, let the baked goods cool on a rack.
▯ If the baked goods are too dark on the bottom: insert
one level higher, select a lower temperature.
If the baked goods are too dark on the top: insert one
level lower, select a lower temperature, and extend the
baking time a bit.
▯ If the cake is too dry, set the temperature a little
higher. If the cake is not cooked on the inside, set the
temperature a little lower.
Baking times cannot be shortened by selecting a
higher temperature; it is better to select a somewhat
lower temperature.
▯ If the cake collapses: use less liquid or set the
temperature 50°F (10 °C) lower. Do not open the
oven door too soon.
▯ The cake rises only in the middle: grease the edges of
the pan.
▯ If the cookies are hard to take off the sheet, insert the
sheet in the hot oven again and remove the cookies
while they are still warm.
▯ If the cake does not come out of the pan when yhou
turn it over, use a knife to loosen the cake around the
edges. Turn the cake pan upside down again and
cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time,
grease the pan well and sprinkle some bread crumbs
into it.
▯ Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for pre-
cooked and frozen products.
