Only preheat the oven if it specifies in the recipe or in

the table in the instruction manual that you should do

so.
Use nonĆstick, black painted or enamelled tins. They

absorb the heat especially well.
If you have several cakes to bake it is best to bake

them one after the other. The oven is still warm. This

shortens the baking time for the second cake. You

can also put two baking tins in one after the other.
For long cooking times, the oven can be switched off

10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and the

remaining heat can be used to finish the cooking.

Experts are currently discussing how dangerous

acrylamide in food can be. We have compiled this

information sheet for you on the basis of current

research.

Acrylamide in food does not come from external

contamination. It is formed in the food itself during

preparation Ć provided that the food contains

carbohydrate and protein. Exactly how this happens

has not yet been completely explained. However, it

appears that the acrylamide content is strongly

influenced by:
high temperatures

a low water content in food

intensive browning of the food.
