Acrylamide in food
Acrylamide is produced particularly in cereal and potato
products prepared at high temperatures, e. g., chips, toast,
rolls, bread and pastries (biscuits, spiced biscuits, Christmas
biscuits).
Test dishes
These tables have been produced for test institutes to facilitate
the inspection and testing of the various appliances.
In accordance with EN 50304/EN 60350 (2009) and IEC
60350.
Baking

flat oven tray on the lower level.
Baking on 3 levels:
Always place the universal deep tray on the upper level.
Tea biscuits:
Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily

Grilling
If food is placed directly on the wire shelf, place the enamel tray

any meat juices.
Tips for preparing food with a low acrylamide content
