Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products
prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips,
toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits,
gingerbread, cookies).
Test dishes
These tables have been produced for test institutes to facilitate
the inspection and testing of the various appliances.
In accordance with EN/IEC 60350.
Baking
When baking on two levels, always insert the baking tray above
the universal pan.
Piped cookies: Food on baking trays that are placed in the
oven at the same time will not necessarily all be ready at the
same time.
German apple pie on 1 level: Place dark springform cake tins
diagonally next to each other.
Note: For baking, use the lower of the temperatures indicated
first.
