Cooking and Baking Advice:
The manual provides detailed tips for various cooking types:
- Baking: Recommends non-stick coated metal trays or heat-resistant silicone moulds, optimal use of shelf space, and selecting the correct shelf position before turning on the oven.
- Roasting: Suggests seasoning with lemon juice and black pepper for whole chicken or large meat pieces, notes longer cooking times for meat with bones, and advises letting meat rest after cooking.
- Grilling: Ideal for meat, fish, and poultry for browning without drying. Recommends distributing items on the wire rack and using a tray or grill pan underneath to collect dripping fat, with added water for easier cleaning.
- Baking Cake: Offers solutions for dry, wet, or overly dark cakes, including adjusting temperature, liquid content, and shelf position.
- Baking Pastry: Provides advice for dry pastry (increase temperature, decrease cooking time, dampen layers), slow baking (check pastry thickness), and uneven browning (adjust wash amount).
- Cooking Vegetables: Suggests using a lidded dish for vegetables that dry out quickly and pre-boiling if they are not cooking sufficiently.
Energy Saving Tips:
- Use dark-coloured or enamel-coated cookware for better heat transmission.
- Preheat only when advised.
- Avoid frequently opening the oven door during cooking.
- Cook multiple dishes simultaneously or consecutively to utilize residual heat.
- Switch off the oven a few minutes before the end of cooking time and keep the door closed.
- Defrost frozen dishes before cooking.
