(**) For cooking that requires preheating,
preheat at the beginning of cooking process
until the thermostat lamp switches off.
Tips for baking cake
x If the cake is too dry, increase the
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time.
x If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower
the temperature by 10°C.
x If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a
lower rack, lower the temperature and
increase the cooking time.
x If cooked well on the inside but sticky on
the outside use less liquid, lower the
temperature and increase the cooking
time.
Tips for baking pastry
x If the pastry is too dry, increase the
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time. Dampen the layers of dough
with a sauce composed of milk, oil, egg
and yoghurt.
x If the pastry takes too long to bake, ensure
that the thickness of the pastry you have
prepared does not exceed the depth of the
tray.
x If the upper side of the pastry gets
browned, but the lower part is not cooked,
make sure that the amount of sauce you
have used for the pastry is not too much at
the bottom of the pastry. Try to distribute
the sauce equally between the dough
layers and the top of the pastry for an
even browning.
Tips for cooking vegetables
x If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and
gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid
instead of a tray. Closed vessels will
preserve the juice of the dish.
x If the vegetables in a vegetable dish do
not cook properly, boil the vegetables
beforehand or prepare them like canned
food and put in the oven.

hottest area and fatty food may
catch fire.
