Practical Cooking Advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow

you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With

time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile

cooking appliance and the following directions are only a

guideline which may be varied according to your own per-

sonal experience.

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it

has been preheated (about 15 minutes). Normal tempera-

tures are around 160°C. Do not open the door while the pas-

try is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping. Batters

should not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cook-

ing times. In general, follow the guidelines below.

In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the

cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and

increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the

outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

flour.

Cooking Fish and Meat

Meat must weigh at least 1 kg in order to prevent it from

drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low

temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should

be well done on the outside while tender and juicy on the

inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature set-

ting (200-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down

afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the

temperature setting and the longer the total cooking time.

Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the drip-

ping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack

is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would

like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the lower

rack heights. For savoury roasts, dress the meat with lard or

bacon on the top.
