Baking
Handling food carefully will help pro- tect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and french fries should be cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Using baking parchment
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see “Cleaning and care”). Surfaces treated with PerfectClean generally do not need to be greased or covered with baking parchment.
 Use baking parchment when cooking:
Baking tips
- Set a cooking duration. When baking, the oven should not be set to start a long time off. Otherwise the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effective- ness.
- Generally speaking, you can use racks, universal trays and any type of baking tray made of heat-resistant material.
- lye mixtures because anything pre- pared using a lye containing sodium hydroxide can damage the PerfectClean surface
- mixtures with a high egg white con- tent, such as sponge, meringue and macaroons, as these can easily stick
- puff pastry or strudel dough - Always place baking tins on the rack. - frozen food on the rack
- Always cook frozen goods such as cakes, pizza or baguettes on the rack.
- small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes on the universal tray
Very high temperatures can cause the universal tray to distort to such an extent that the tray cannot be taken out of the oven compartment.
- Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the universal tray. Turn these frozen food items several times during cooking.
- Bake on a maximum of 2 levels at the same time. When baking cakes with a moist topping, only bake on one level.
