Baking Pastries
When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the
oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red “E” light will turn off). Do not open the door while the pastry is
cooking in order to prevent it from dropping.
Baking must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In general:
If Suggestion
Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10℃ and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10℃
Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour.
Using more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
