6.7 Oven use
• For baking cakes, traditional metal cake tins may be used as well as Tef
-
lon, ceramic, glass or aluminium foil cake trays. The most universal are
metal tins due to their various shapes and application. Before first use, all
metal cake tins must be baked in a well-heated oven to remove the smell.
• Fill the tins 2/3 full of dough, leaving enough place for it to rise.
• Ceramic, glass, enamelled steel and cast-iron cookware with heat-resis
-
tant handles may be used for roasting meat.
• Before putting a cake into the oven, the oven must be pre-heated.
• During baking the dough should be heated evenly. This can be done by
choosing the or function.
• If the dough outer layer is too brown, next time place the cake tin on a
lower level in the oven, set a lower temperature, and allow the dough to
bake longer.
• If the dough bottom is too brown, next time place the cake tin on a
higher level in the oven and set a lower temperature.
• If you place dough in the overheated oven, the cake may be doughy or
fail to rise. If the dough stays in the oven too long, it may dry out or the
outer layer may become too brown.
• When selecting the baking time and temperature take into account the
weight and consistency of the pastry.
• Place utensils with food at any level of the oven, depending on the used
function.
• Observation and experience help in choosing the best level, tempera
-
ture and oven function for a particular dish.
• It is recommended to start the first baking with medium temperatures,
according to the recipe, and then adjust the temperature to suit the needs
the next time. If baked in lower temperatures, the cake becomes evenly
brown all over its surface.
• In order to check whether the cake is baked, it should be pierced with a
thin wooden rod a few minutes before switching off the oven. The cake is
ready if it does not stick to the rod. After baking the cake should be kept
in the oven for about 5 minutes.
