Pastries and oven food

General Information

• We recommend using the accessories of the product for a good cooking performance. If you will use an external cookware, prefer dark, non-sticking and heat resistant ware.
• If preheating is recommended in the cooking table, be sure to put your food in the oven after preheating.
• If you will cook by using cookware on the wire grill, place it in the middle of the wire grill, not near the back wall.
• All materials used in making pastry should be fresh and at room temperature.
• The cooking status of the foods may vary depending on the amount of food and the size of the cookware.
• Metal, ceramic and glass moulds extend the cooking time and the bottom surfaces of pastry foods do not brown evenly.
• If you are using baking paper, a small browning can be observed on the bottom surface of the food. In this situation, you may have to extend your cooking period by approximately 10 minutes.
• The values specified in the cooking tables are determined as a result of the tests carried out in our laboratories. Values suitable for you may differ from these values.
• Place your food on the appropriate shelf recommended in the cooking table. Refer to the bottom shelf of the oven as shelf 1.

Tips for baking cakes

• If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and shorten the baking time.
• If the cake is moist, use a small amount of liquid or reduce the temperature by 10°C.
• If the top of the cake is burnt, put it on the lower shelf, lower the temperature and increase the baking time.
• If the inside of the cake is cooked well, but outside is sticky, use less liquid, decrease the temperature and increase the cooking time.

Hints for pastry

• If the pastry is too dry, increase the temperature by 10 °C and shorten the cooking time. Wet the dough sheets with a sauce consisting of milk, oil, egg and yoghurt mixture.
• If the pastry is getting cooked slowly, make sure that the thickness of the pastry you have prepared does not overflow the tray.
• If the pastry is browned on the surface but the bottom is not cooked, make sure that the amount of sauce you will use for the pastry is not too much at the bottom of the pastry. For an even browning, try to spread the sauce evenly between the dough sheets and the pastry.
• Bake your pastry in the position and temperature appropriate to the cooking table. If the bottom is still not browned enough, place it on a bottom shelf for the next cooking.
