48. Measurement and Reference Guide Helpful tips • Whenever possible, start cooking food in a cold appliance, this can save up to 20% of energy. All of our recipes are based on cooking in a cold appliance, unless preheating is specified. • Dry ingredients are weighed using metric scales, cups and spoon measures. Use the edge of a knife to level the ingredient. • Liquid ingredients are measured using scales and measuring jugs. Always measure on a flat surface to check at eye level. • All recipes have been developed using tablespoons that hold 20 ml (4 teaspoons). • Eggs are from a 700 g carton, unless otherwise specified. • Egg yolks are 20 g each and egg whites are 30 g in weight. • Bring eggs and meat to room temperature prior to using. • Butter is salted, unless specified. • Ensure you're using the correct pots and pans on induction - quality equipment leads to consistent results. • We have suggested oven shelf levels as a guide only. When using the fan, position the shelves to ensure heat is circulated throughout the cavity. When using the grill, position the food close enough to crisp or char, but not too close to burn. • Store food at the correct temperature in your refrigerator and freezer to maximise shelf-life. Miele's PerfectFresh technology creates the ideal humidity and temperature. Taste and nutrition are preserved and the shelf-life of the food is maximized. Incredibly, this technology means that produce stays fresher for up to five times longer!
