What Kind Of Ovenware Can Be Used - AEG MCD4538E User Manual

Advice on cake baking ware
The most commonly used type of
baking ware is black metal tins. If you
are also going to use the microwave,
use glass, ceramic or plastic baking
ware. These must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 250ºC. If you use
these types of baking ware the cakes
are not browned as much.
Advice on how to bake cakes
Different amounts and types of pastry
require different temperatures and
baking times. Try low settings first of
all and then, if necessary, use higher
temperatures next time. A lower
temperature will result in more uniform
baking. Always put the cake tray in the
centre of the turntable.

Microwave function
16.1.
For the microwave function, keep in
mind that microwaves are reflected by
metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay,
plastic, and paper let microwaves
pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes
or containers with metal parts or
decorations cannot be used in the
microwave. Glass ware and clay with
metallic decoration or content (e.g.
If the cake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a
tooth pick after baking has finished.
Then sprinkle the cake with some fruit
juice or alcoholic drink. Next time
increase the temperature by about 10º
and reduce the baking time.
If the cake does not come free when
turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10
minutes after baking and it will come
out of the tin more easily. If the cake
still does not come free run a knife
carefully around the edges. Next time
grease the cake tin well.
Advice on saving energy
When you are making more than one
cake, it is advisable to bake them in
the oven one after the other when the
oven is still hot. This lets you reduce
the baking time for the second and
later cakes.
It is preferable to use dark coloured
baking ware - painted or enamelled
black – since such baking tins absorb
heat better.
When dealing with long baking times,
you can switch the oven off 10 minutes
before the end of the time and make
use of the residual heat to complete
the baking.
lead crystal) cannot be used in
microwave ovens.
The ideal materials for use in
microwave ovens are glass, refractory
china or clay, or heat resistant plastic.
Very thin, fragile glass or china should
only be used for short period of times
(e.g. heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes
which can become very hot. You
should, therefore, always use an oven
glove!
