Baking tips

Bakes and gratins

Your appliance offers a range of heating functions for 

cooking bakes. The settings tables list the optimal 

settings for a wide range of dishes.

How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of 

the cookware and the shelf position of the bake.

You want to find out whether the 

baked item is completely cooked in 

the middle.

Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the baked item. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no 

dough residue, the baked item is ready.

The baked item collapses.

Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere 

to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.

The baked item has risen in the mid-

dle but is lower around the edge.

Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the baked item carefully with a knife.

The fruit juice overflows.

Next time, use the universal pan.

Small baked items stick to one 

another during baking.

There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to 

expand well and brown on all sides.

The baked item is too dry.

Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.

The baked item is too light in colour 

overall.

If the shelf position and the accessories are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or 

extend the baking time.

The baked item is too light on top, and 

too dark underneath.

Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.

The baked item is too dark on top, 

and too light underneath.

Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking 

time.

The baked item is too dark in a tin or 

loaf tin.

Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back wall.

The baked item is too dark in colour 

overall.

Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.

The baked item is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower  temperature.

Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back 

wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.

You were baking on several levels. 

The items on the top baking tray are 

darker than those on the lower baking 

tray.

Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in 

baking tins at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

The baked item looks good, but is not 

cooked properly in the middle.

Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For baked items with a 

moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.

The baked item cannot be turned out 

of the dish when it is turned upside 

down.

Allow the baked item to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen it around 

the edges again using a knife. Turn the baked item upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, 

wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
