Tips on baking

Roasting and braising

Here, you can find information on roasting and braising 

poultry and meat. You can find the ideal settings for 

many dishes in the settings tables.

Poultry

For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of 

the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck 

breasts.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or 

the skin side is underneath at first.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you 

baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, 

salted water or orange juice.

Meat

Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with 

strips of bacon.
Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when 

cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.

When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to 

rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking 

compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better 

distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary. 

The recommended resting time is not included in the 

cooking time indicated.

Roasting on the wire rack

On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very 

crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well 

suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the 

same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to  

^

 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat 

and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a 

sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke 

is generated, and the cooking compartment stays 

cleaner.
Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with 

the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and 

the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the 

You want to find out whether the cake 

is completely cooked in the middle.

Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough res-

idue, the cake is ready.

The cake collapses.

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

Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.

The cake has risen in the middle but 

is lower around the edge.

Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake 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 cake is too dry.

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

The cake is generally too light in col-

our.

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

extend the baking time.

The cake is too light on top, and too 

dark underneath.

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

The cake 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.

Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too 

brown at the back.

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

The whole cake is too dark.

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

The cake 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 use Hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in bak-

ing tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

The cake 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 cakes with a moist 

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

The cake cannot be turned out of the 

dish when it is turned upside down.

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

the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet 

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