Handling and cooking food correctly
is essential for maintaining good
health.
Cakes, pizzas, and French fries
should be cooked until golden, not
dark brown.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Baking tips
- Set a cooking duration. If used for
baking, do not delay the start for too
long. Otherwise the cake mixture or
dough will dry out, and the raising
agents will lose their effectiveness.
- Generally, you can use the wire rack,
universal tray, and any type of bake-
ware made of heat-resistant material.
- Always place bakeware on the wire
rack.
- Always cook frozen goods such as
cakes, pizza, or baguettes on the
wire rack.
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 two levels at
the same time.
Using parchment paper
Miele accessories, e.g., the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see
“Cleaning and care for the steam
oven”). Surfaces treated with Perfect-
Clean generally do not need to be
greased or covered with parchment
paper.
Use parchment paper when cooking:
- lye mixtures because anything pre-
pared using a lye containing sodium
hydroxide can damage the Perfect-
Clean 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
- frozen food on the wire rack
- small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes on
the universal tray
