If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 160 °C. Bake for about 25 minutes at 160 °C. The centre must be set, with no liquid movement. Lower the temperature if browning early; do not add loose foil. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.
