Gentle Bake
Gentle Bake is suitable for small
amounts e.g. of frozen pizza, bake-off
rolls, cookies and for meat dishes and
roasts. The optimum use of residual
heat enables savings of up to 30%
energy to be made compared to
cooking with a standard oven function
with comparably good cooking results.
This function is not suitable for larger
amounts of food such as sponge cake,
fresh fruit cake or small cakes where
the cake mix needs to be thoroughly
baked through, as no energy savings
would be made.
The temperature can be set between
100 and 250°C.
For optimum results, keep the door
closed whilst cooking.
