oven dishes
You can, in principle, use any dish that is heatproof. Do not
rinse glass dishes under cold water directly after use. The
sudden temperature difference may cause the glass to crack.
Use dark or black baking tins. These conduct heat better and
allow the food to cook more evenly.
do not cover the bottom of the oven
Covering the bottom of the oven - for example, with
aluminium foil or a baking tray - may result in overheating and
damage to the enamel.
You can stop the bottom getting dirty due to leakage from a
loose-bottomed tin, either by making a sort of container for it
out of aluminium foil and placing this ‘container’ under it on
the grid shelf or by putting greaseproof paper under the tin.
setting the time
Select a cooking time 5 minutes shorter than that given in
the recipe. This enables you to check whether the dish or
cake is cooked and has a good colour before the end. If not,
close the oven door and check it again a little later. The door
should be opened and closed slowly, and preferably not
before three-quarters of the cooking time has elapsed.
keeping warm
You can use the oven to keep warm food that has already
been cooked. Select the turbo function and a temperature of
80 °C. Cover food that you want to keep warm, to stop it
drying out.
