Problem
Possible cause and remedy
Cakes and biscuits are
not cooked properly
after following the
durations given in the
chart.
A different temperature from the one given in the recipe
was used.
^
Select the temperature required for the recipe.
The ingredient quantities are different from those given
in the recipe.
^
Double check the recipe. The addition of more liquid
or more eggs makes a moister mix which would take
longer to cook.
Browning is uneven.
The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
^
There will always be a slight unevenness. If the
unevenness is pronounced, check that the correct
temperature and shelf level have been selected.
The material or colour of the baking tin is not suitable for
the oven function.
Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. These reflect
heat, which means that the heat does not penetrate to
the food effectively, resulting in uneven or poor
browning.
^
Dark matt tins are best for baking.
