If two baking trays with pastries or bis-
cuits 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 wa-
ter in the roasting pan. To prevent condensa-
tion forming, add water several times. The
plates can be kept warm in the oven at mini-
mum temperature until serving.
Important!
Do not line the oven with alu-
minium foil and do not place bak-
ing trays, pots, etc. on the oven
floor, as the heat that builds up
will damage the oven enamel.
Cooking times
Cooking times can vary according to the
different composition, ingredients and
amounts of liquid in the individual dishes.

roasting to gain experience for later prepara-
tion of the same dishes.
Based upon your own experiences you
