Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 160 °C. Bake about 22 minutes at 160 °C. The edge may rise and brown; the centre must also set and must not slosh when moved. Continue cooking if needed. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.
